PRODUCT DEMO
FOR PROVIDERS
Part I: Let's dive in!
The quickest way to get a good sense of what RehabWorks is all about is to dive in and see some practical application of the course material. So we're going to begin this demo presentation by going straight to the final module of the curriculum and taking a look at some of the material there.

Module IV Preview
Module IV is a review module that's designed to help families remain engaged with the course material after they've completed the first three primary content modules.
The unique aspect of this module is that it identifies common trouble areas and redirects families back to specific course material that gives them tools for responding to potential treatment challenges in an effective and proactive manner. The videos below provide a unique opportunity to see RehabWorks in action. You'll get a good view of how much material the curriculum covers, and you'll also see how we avoid potential cracks in the treatment foundation by bridging the gap between the client, the family, and the treatment team.
