What Does ILC.ed Offer In 2009?
It is our pleasure to present the NEW ILC.ed training and education program for 2009. Exciting changes to the structure of this year's program will increase the opportunities for learners to extend their knowledge in the expanding area of Assistive Technology. The 2009 program includes workshops from Level 1, (Basic), through to Level 3, (Intermediate), allowing us to better classify workshops according to their content and target audience.
Level 1 (L1) - Basic
These brief sessions are designed to introduce participants to a specific area of assistive technology. Session content aims to familiarise participants with products available and how to safely use a selection of products. These courses are aimed at allied health assistants, attendant carers, students, new graduates, health professionals returning to work and others. More Information on Level 1 - Basic.
Level 2 (L2) - Foundation
Level 2 education may be half-day, full day, or two day events and are aimed at health professionals who wish to develop foundation skills in a specific area of assistive technology. They aim to prepare learners to select products and product features for use with less complex clients.
More Information on Level 2 - Foundation.
Level 3 (L3) - Intermediate
Level 3 events are one or two day events aimed at health professionals who wish to further develop their skills in an area of assistive technology. The aim is to prepare learners to prescribe assistive technology for use with clients with more complex needs and to be a reference point for other professionals working in a similar area. More Information on Level 3 - Intermediate.
Level 4 (L4) - Advanced
These sessions will not be offered in 2009 but will be introduced at a later date.
Supplier Display Days
These FREE display days are an opportunity for all learners to update their knowledge on a specific range of assistive technology currently available. More Information on Supplier Display Days.
