Professional Learning Series: Learn to Coach

United Cerebral Palsy's Professional Learning Series is pleased to welcome our next presenters, Debra Teitelbaum and Patti Thomas.

Debra Teitelbaum has more than 35 years of experience as a pediatric physiotherapist, the last 27 years at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary, working with families of young children with neurodevelopmental issues. It has been a great privilege for her to journey alongside so many families, find solutions together to support their goals and build caregiver competence along the way. More recently, she developed the Applied Coaching Tool and implemented training for therapists to move from an expert model to a non-expert, learner focused model. She continues to research the efficacy and clinical application of coaching practices in pediatrics. She obtained her BScPT and MSc in Rehabilitation from McGill University.

Patti Thomas, PT is a physiotherapist with over 22 years of experience in neuro rehabilitation, specializing in pediatric rehabilitation. Throughout her career she has worked in diverse settings from community-based therapy in Melbourne, Australia, where she first saw the power of family-driven care, to Alberta Children’s Hospital, where she worked with varied multidisciplinary teams. Now in Calgary, she provides home care, working with children of all ages and backgrounds to achieve meaningful, goal-driven progress. Patti believes that therapy is most effective when families are fully engaged, and she is passionate about coaching caregivers to become a lead player in this process.
