Therapist as Supervisor and Coach is the first and only comprehensive resource on supervision, management, and coaching written specifically for rehabilitation specialists. This book provides occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists with the skills they need to build strong interdisciplinary teams and become effective leaders in the managed care environment. Therapist as Supervisor and Coach stems from the author's highly regarded workshops and includes real-life scenarios based on the participants' experiences in a variety of rehabilitation settings. The author's "in the trenches" approach to management will enable readers to incorporate the tools they have learned, such as meeting facilitation and time management, into their daily routines. After reading this book, therapists will more effectively manage the dual tasks of providing treatment to patients while supervising assistants and aides.
