We are delighted to share a CPD contents for Occupational Therapists who are supporting their complex NDIS client with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), ME/CFS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Long Covid, and related disabilities.
The contents were diligently created by Clare Batkin (Your OT Tutor) with collaboration with Julie Hughes (Lecturer in Occupational Therapy at Australian Catholic University), Chelsea Bartlett (Occupational Therapist at MLEA), Occupational Therapist with ME, and Rachel from ME Group Australia (Health Consumer).
We hope that her CPD contents inspire Occupational Therapists to start supporting their complex NDIS clients with confidence.
Her guide for OT covers:
- Preparation
- Information Gathering
- Report Writing
- Follow-up
And the information is delivered by webinar recording from Severe ME Day Webinar Event back in August and 2-page guide for OT. It covers from knowledge of ME with evidence to practical guide how to prepare, complete, and follow up on Functional Capacity Assessment for your complex NDIS Client.
