A foundational continuing education training for allied health support professionals

Earn 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH)

This PDH-eligible webinar includes a downloadable Certificate of Completion suitable for personal, employer, or state professional development documentation.

Why This Training Matters

Support personnel are often expected to collect data, document progress, and support treatment implementation without always being clearly taught how evaluation findings connect to goals, therapy activities, and clinical decision-making.

Documentation & Data Basics: Translating Evaluation Into Practice was created to help bridge that gap.

In this training, participants will explore the foundations of documentation and data collection through a practical, support-personnel-centered lens. Learners will gain a clearer understanding of how evaluation results guide goal development, how treatment aligns with measurable outcomes, and how accurate data supports effective communication and ethical practice.

Whether you are new to documentation or looking to strengthen your clinical confidence, this training provides practical strategies to help you collect, interpret, and communicate data more effectively within your professional role and scope.
