G'day! I'm Lorrae, and as an occupational therapist I know that with the many demands of practice it can be hard linking theory to practice, linking assessment and treatment and keeping an occupational focus.
OccupationalFormulation.com offers training and resources in occupational formulation to support therapists, teams and students in making these links. Membership includes access to online courses and resources, with opportunities to interact with instructors and peers through live Q&A sessions and the online discussion community. Live workshops can also be booked.
This live workshop provides a solid basis for understanding and applying occupational formulation in practice.
Suitable for occupational therapists and students, it can be facilitated for an organisation or network. Content is delivered face-to-face or online over one day (or two half-days if needed given timezone differences).
Membership packages represent excellent value, with unlimited access to online course content and guided learning activities, multiple downloadable resources, and access to discussion forums and live Q&A sessions to support understanding and sharing of ideas with colleagues.
The one-time payment allows ongoing access to all the site resources, so there’s no sense of pressure and you can return to review material at a later date, and can participate in Q&A sessions or the discussion community at any point. Please note that student access within the University program package is time-limited.
A range of resources and suggestions are provided to support you in implementing occupational formulation in practice.
Lorrae spoke with Rhiannon Crispe from the OT Lifestyle Movement all about occupational formulation and how occupational therapists can use it to support collaborative, occupation-focused practice.
Doing the Foundations course will help OTs to understand what occupational formulation is and to easily incorporate it in their everyday work , enhancing client centred practice, client motivation to engage in OT and client outcomes. I highly recommend this course to every OT no matter what area of OT you work in.
Participants finish the Occupational Formulation and Goal setting training with a renewed passion and confidence to practice from an occupational framework, to work collaboratively and communicate their occupational reasoning to service users, families, colleagues and service providers.
The 2023 Occupational Therapist of the year (Australian Allied Health Awards), Lorrae is a doctoral research candidate who is passionate about keeping occupation at the heart of occupational therapy. After receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from hundreds of occupational therapists who attended her live occupational formulation training, she founded OccupationalFormulation.com to enable occupational therapists to easily access training, resources and support for implementing occupational formulation in their practice.
