The Wall Model Theory Course

Description

The course you’ve been waiting for…

Your training hardly covered kids, and now you’re at the coalface of paeds practice, and you feel like your clinical reasoning skills need a boost.

You’d like to use The Wall Model to guide your clinical reasoning, but you don’t know where to start.

You’d like to use The Wall Model, but you’re not good at assimilating knowledge through reading, and you’re looking for someone to walk you through it.

The Wall Model has stood the test of time.  I first developed it in the mid to late 1990s, and have updated it along the way to incorporate all the latest theory.  It’s the framework that’s made the difference to thousands of school-based and paediatric occupational therapists as they entered practice.

I know for sure The Wall Model is the framework, that when added to your OT qualification, is going to give you the clarity you need to springboard your practice to the next level, as it develops your clinical reasoning skills because you will have the systematic, logical, step-by-step sequence to follow to customise it for each of your children.

Dear Bunty.

I have been meaning to reconnect for some time to let you know how often I still draw on your teaching in my work. Your Wall Model of Development continues to underpin my clinical reasoning, and I regularly use it within my individual supervision sessions.  It remains one of the most practical and grounding frameworks in my practice.

Occupational therapist, London, UK.

If you’d like to be confident in clinical reasoning and clearly link your assessment findings with the presenting problems…

If you’d like to be clear on how to establish and make actual sense of the underlying reasons for a child’s struggles, so you can ensure your treatment is specific and goal-directed…

If you’d like to master a clear understanding of how the various sensory, motor and perceptual modalities are interrelated and connected, so you can apply it to your treatment…

It all starts with The Wall Model Theory Course.

Because in just 3 hours, I can take you on the journey from overwhelm to “I’ve got this!”

You will know how every piece of the sensory motor and perceptual puzzle fits together.
You will have absolute clarity of the developmental progression of the components that underpin school-based and paeds practice.
You will know how to confidently explain to parents, teachers and colleagues: “This is what I am doing and is what I’ve got to offer.”

No more fake it ‘till you make it.

Only good, solid clinical reasoning underpinned by an evidence-based theoretical foundation.

I know The Wall Model inside out.

I know what it can do and how you can leverage it to master your school-based or paediatric practice.

I know how to take you through it step-by-step so you can integrate it with what you already know.

I know, because I created it.

There’s something about learning about something from the person who actually developed it.

OTs who tell me they were taught The Wall during their training also tell me they didn’t begin to realise its potential.

Join me, the developer who knows The Wall inside out, and knows how to help you unleash its potential for The Wall Model Theory Course.

This is what you get:

• 3 hours of on-demand recorded content that walks you through The Wall as it is built brick by brick, so you can apply it in practice tomorrow.
• 12 easy-to-access lessons that divide the content into bite sized pieces so you can find the exact section you are looking for.
• 4 months of access to the content so you can review it when you need to.
• A downloadable eBook copy of The Wall Model so you can refer back to it for years to come.
• A hot-off-the-press up-to-date version of The Wall Model printable, so you can be sure your practice is evidence-based.
• A fine motor mini Wall for those handwriting referrals, so you can clearly explain why your treatment approach.
• All about muscle tone, postural, and shoulder girdle stability so you never need to feel out of your depth when it comes to kids who are propping their heads on their hands, lying on the desk, and slumping in their chairs.
• All about bilateral integration, midline crossing, hand preference so you know exactly how this is impacting children in the classroom.
• What you need to know about reversals so you can speak with evidence-based confidence about them and when to intervene.
• All the latest theory about sensory modulation in an easy to digest format, and what it means for practice.  (You’ll need this because regulation is a Big Thing in paeds practice.)
• All the current evidence-based golden nuggets about functional handwriting and pencil grasp, so you don’t need to sweat those handwriting referrals.
• All about visual perception and how it connects to school-based function showing actual real-life examples so you will be able to recognise them when they come knocking.
• How to interpret the mountains of results you get from your assessment so you don’t end up using the wrong treatment approach simply because you couldn’t navigate your way through, or realised the significance of the mountains of information.
• How to link up your assessment findings with the presenting difficulties so you can explain why the child is struggling, rather than presenting reams of meaningless numbers, scores and results.
• Case Studies, so you can be sure how to use your clinical reasoning to be clear about why your children are struggling with different things.
• How to produce a customised Wall for every child that will clearly visually convey to parents and colleagues what you are working on and how you will achieve it.
• A certificate of completion so you can upload it for your CPD.
• And so much more…

Hi Bunty

I picked up your book again this week and was browsing through it in preparation for a job shadowing student.  You are amazing – it is so cleverly and logically put together and I can only imagine what an amazing resource it is for students let alone us therapists.  Well done!  I know it has been around for a few years but I thought I would share my admiration!

Bunty laid the foundations clearly and precisely in her book – Part I of The Wall!

The jump from student to practice can be a daunting one. We are expected to assess, plan and treat with confidence and scientific evidence. Bunty’s Wall Model and book was an amazing tool for me as it is easy to read and understand and answered so many questions in the simplest way!

I continuously used her book throughout my Sensory Integration journey, both for clarity and referencing especially during my protocol– it really helped!  Although I’ve now completed my SI, my learning journey has not finished… it has just begun!  I can’t wait for Part 2, I will definitely need it!

I would recommend this book to both students and qualified OT’s.  The Wall Model is an exceptional assessment and planning tool which both therapist and parent can understand.

You should use this model if you are a student doing fieldwork.  It will help you impress your supervisors!  Alternatively if you are a newly graduated occupational therapist, this book will be your mentor.  As an OT starting in paediatric practice, this Wall Model book is essential!  My OT practice insists that new therapists who start use Bunty’s Wall.  It forms a foundational part of new therapists’ training at the practice.

Bunty’s Wall is a well known clinical reasoning tool.  It is used at University level as well as in the workplace to assist therapists.  As a developing clinician, the process of assessing, planning treatment and writing up therapy goals can be overwhelming.  However, with Bunty’s Wall this spiderweb of problem solving can become systematic and logical.  When clinical reasoning is sound, therapy can be efficiently planned and expertly applied for excellent results.

I must say that as a final year student from University of Kwa-Zulu-Natal, learning from your material really has increasingly helped us to develop such necessary skills during our Paediatrics blocks, therefore, naturally, I opted to get the book to assist me with a lifetime of learning! And yes, will be saving up for Part 2 as well…

I deeply commend you for contributing so greatly to the repertoire of our profession.
