Haden is joined by guests Paula Fischer, PDT team lead and SLP, and Kjirsti Myles, physical therapist and PDT team lead as they discuss "How to do a Good Home Visit." Home visits are a great way to create functional therapy not only for the child, but for a parent/guardian to grasp and continue. There are so many more aspects, though, that come into play when treating a child in the home versus the clinic. Haden, Paula, and Kjirsti give applicable insight and knowledge here that can be used for any situation to make sure you know "How to do a Good Home Visit." Looking for more therapy resources?

What does it take to write a good plan of care? What is the difference in a goal plan and a plan of care? Too many therapist can "check the box" on knowing what a plan of care is, but can the plan be implemented functionally and effectively into the life of the individual child being treating? This is what Pediatric Developmental Therapy owner and founder, Haden Boliek, and guest Paula Fischer, PDT team lead, discuss in this episode of The Working Therapist. This podcast is a must-hear for both new and seasoned therapists. Looking for more therapy resources? Visit www.pediatricdt.com today!

Haden welcomes guest and PDT team lead, Lori Scott, to The Working Therapist as they discuss "Good Communication." Too often as busy professionals we assume that our communication is clear, but does it completely relay everything that we intend? Join Haden and Lori as they dissect how to clearly and effectively communicate, regardless of the party being communicated too or the type of correspondence. This podcast will take your communication to the next level of professionalism. Looking for more therapist resources? Visit www.pediatricdt.com today!

Haden is joined by Kjirsti Myles, PDT team lead and physical therapist, to discuss "Time Management and Scheduling." Every professional must learn to balance the requirements of what they like to do versus what they have to do in order to have a successful career. Many times, though, therapists let the "have to" tasks of communication and administration get in the way of them doing what they originally signed up for...therapy. Listen in to this podcast as Haden and Kjirsti challenge you to broaden your perspective, and teach you how to master the art of "Time Management and Scheduling."
