  • Educate participants, families, and caregivers on adaptive equipment, home safety strategies, and therapeutic recommendations.
  • Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation, including assessments, progress notes, care plans, and reports.
  • Ensure compliance with CAPABLE program standards, regulatory requirements, and organizational policies.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary team members to support participant goals and quality improvement initiatives.
