You’re well on your way to providing Habilitation Services. Sounds important, right? That’s because it is!  Helping others learn new skills and achieve their highest degree of independence is quite meaningful work. It requires enthusiasm, an obligation to the person you work with, as well as training in specific interventions that are likely new for you.  In the beginning, it is mission critical to get to know the member and take the necessary steps to establish a relationship where the member not only trusts you but finds you socially reinforcing. This may take some time, but it is a foundation that allows for you to make an impact in your services.  In this course, we will give you a comprehensive understanding of what habilitation services are all about.  Then we will jump into teaching you some skills and strategies to be a successful provider of habilitation services.
