- Rehabilitation Foundational Principles

- Empowerment & Advocacy

- Assistive Technology & Accessibility

- Physical Health Conditions

- Mental Health Conditions

- Supported Employment for People with Disabilities

- Multicultural Aspects of Rehabilitation

- Skills for Interviewing Clients

Courses are asynchronous and self-paced. Contact us today for more information and pricing.


Completing the System of Care

In 2023, the World Health Assembly endorsed a landmark resolution calling for the integration of rehabilitation into global health systems. This initiative acknowledges the significance of rehabilitation as a critical component of the continuum of care, and the need for rehabilitation to be incorporated into universal healthcare coverage - tertiary to public health and medicine. This resolution underlies a critical need for the development and expansion of a global rehabilitation workforce. Yet rehabilitation services and post-secondary education programs remain elusive in much of the Global South.
