• Convey those standardized protocols to clients
• Be flexible within the protocols to ensure each client’s needs are met
Convey the benefits
• Discuss the benefits, explain how what they learn will be relevant in real-life scenarios

• Be forthright with what needs to be improved upon
• Provide the client with the information or tools they will need to help them succeed
• Finish the conversation by providing encouragement and offering support
Ask for the Commitment

• Discuss the clients plan for implementation of proposed techniques
• Ask the client directly if they are committed to using their newly acquired knowledge to enhance their mobility skills
Start Strong, but Finish Stronger
