CLASSES FOR THE HOSPITAL AND REHABILITATION ENVIRONMENT
Tiny Handz is excited to also have started with specialized training of specific signs for use within the hospital / rehabilitation environment, focusing even more on adult individuals in the hospital or rehabilitation environment who have lost speech due to stroke,
operations, recovering in ICU and various other medical conditions etc. for use of these signs to help with communication (even if just for a period of time).
This is an optional 2 to 4 day training with 7 to 17 CPD points to be allocated, pending on the length of the training required, open to all within the medical and health environment.
