Module Description

Healthcare professionals are often looked to for answers—but what if the most sustainable solutions come from the clients themselves? “Exploration in Action: Guiding Clients Toward Solutions” empowers clinicians to step back from prescribing and instead support clients in uncovering their own pathways forward. Drawing from Self-Determination Theory, Adult Learning Theory, and the Stages of Change model, this course introduces evidence-based coaching techniques that prioritize client autonomy, build self-efficacy, and foster deeper motivation. Providers will learn how to balance their clinical expertise with a coaching mindset, observe obstacles that may derail progress, and use tools like the DIVE IN Goals™ framework to anchor goal-setting in values and personal meaning. This course equips Athletic Trainers, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, and Speech-Language Pathologists to apply coaching strategies in a variety of settings—including hospitals, outpatient care, and telehealth—to enhance outcomes and client engagement.
