Maintain a simple, clear log of daily activities, noting progress, challenges, and any relevant observations to share with the family and therapy team.
Communicate effectively with the individual's primary therapists to report on progress and ensure the care plan is being followed correctly.

Qualifications

A deeply compassionate, patient, and encouraging demeanor is essential for this role.
Direct, hands-on experience working with individuals recovering from spinal cord injuries, strokes, or other significant neurological conditions is strongly preferred.
Background as a Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA), Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA), Kinesiologist, or Personal Support Worker (PSW) with a focus on rehabilitation is highly desirable.
Strong understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and body mechanics, particularly as they relate to neurological recovery and exercise.
