Our Team of Masters and Doctorate level clinicians are trained in three dynamic state of the art rehabilitation methods, Teaching, Mentoring and Coaching, which are implemented simultaneously during each Team visit, in the home or out in the community.

The initial assessment using LAT's Seven Domains of Functioning is conducted during the first few visits with the Team.  All seven domains are assessed using a casual conversation style that also allows for a natural relationship building process to begin.  There are usually several issues identified that need attention.

Teaching functional skills works best when we empower clients to identify the three most important Rehab Priorities (goals) they would like to work on during visits with the Team. As one goal is accomplished another can be addressed; however, there is a limit to how much a person can change and how long it takes for new skills to become incorporated into a regular routine. Our assessment is designed to identify strengths and functional assets as well as the deficit areas that will need to be part of the overall rehabilitation plan.

Concepts for living well are explored using the Seven Principles of Success.  These principles are practical common concepts and are the foundation of what most of us have been taught since early childhood. Unfortunately, just because we know the right thing to do, doesn't mean we actually do it! Mentoring helps people discard false beliefs and problem behaviors, replacing them with new concepts and rules to live by that allow for personal fulfillment and healthy, nurturing relationships, as well as provides the foundation for a productive satisfying life.

These principles are not taught as a course but are introduced for discussion when a problem or situation presented indicates a lack of understanding or a need for further explanation or clarification of one of these fundamental principles.

Personal satisfaction can be assessed using LAT's Seven Quality of Life Needs.is Problems that diminish the quality of life are the reason most people seek out therapy or participate in rehabilitation. Evaluating satisfaction, happiness and success is a fairly subjective process. Our staff is trained to identify the specific need that is not being met in a situation and is skilled in identifying the proper action necessary to fulfill that need.

Changing even simple things can be difficult on your own. Coaching provides motivation, support and consistency to achieve results especially when past attempts to make changes have been unsuccessful. Coaching shapes newly acquired skills, and encourages the repetition necessary for mastery.
