Todd Whatley

Today, Todd pulls from his PT career to help you when your client's family calls you to say that their loved one is being discharged from rehab when they are not where they should be.  The therapy people have a special code and language they use that most others don't know about.  Today, Todd shares with you some of that secret language and explains how is SHOULD work.

Also, there is a overwhelming perception that a client must be discharged when they stop making progress.  That is a common reason for discharge and it DOES NOT FOLLOW THE RULES.  Todd gives you the case and reference to fight that flawed explanation.  Here is the link to the handout he mentions.
