Welcome to this bitesize professional development session, a part of the Stepping Back from Stepping In series.


The Language of Reablement

The aim of this session is to raise awareness of the features and the impact reablement language can have when working with clients to maintain or regain abilities. Through applied examples and the opportunity to practice using reablement language, participants will increase their knowledge and understanding of the important role language has when supporting someone to retain their independence.
