Including: the ACLS-6 stitching tool, manual, trifold card, the "Understanding Cognitive Performance Modes" book, and access to the ACLS-6 app. This means you will have everything you need to get started using the model. By the end of the course you will be able to administer the stitching tool, Routine Task Inventory, Allen's Evaluative Activities and Cognitive Performance Test. You will also be supported to gain interrater reliability, along with ongoing support during and after. The ACLS-6 stitching tool is plastic and therefore more compliant with infection control.
A truly occupational battery of tools supporting you, as an Occupational Therapist, to identify someone's level of cognitive functioning from an evidence-based model. The modes support you to identify treatment programmes and goals, risk management strategies and provide standardised evidence for care package applications, promoting independence, supporting carers, and increased understanding of functioning.

Comments from course attendees
"loved the resources and all the videos. Group discussions also invaluable."
"Fantastic course and feel much more confident in using it. I really don't feel that I would be able to successfully implement this in practice if I had not done this training."
"Fabulous course, thank you. Extremely good course materials provided. Very knowledgeable and friendly trainers. No question felt too silly. Lots of supporting resources given. I will definitely start incorporating this model into my practice. Thank you."
