Bathing and Showering is considered a high-risk activity,
and yet, clinicians often receive limited training in selecting the
right assistive technology to support it.
With many product options, funding considerations, individual variables and environmental factors to weigh up, it’s easy to feel unsure about:Â
What to prescribe for that person
What will actually fit and work in the person’s space
How to explain AT use clearly
This course was created to provide structured, practical guidance, so you can make informed recommendations with greater understanding and knowledge for AT selection..
GET INSTANT ACCESSEven experienced clinicians can feel unsure about showering and bathing AT
There’s a lot to understand, from the equipment options and what to consider before purchase, to how equipment should be set up and used safely.
When practical training and support are limited, it’s easy to feel stuck. And when you think you should already know the answer, asking for help can feel uncomfortable.
That is why we have created clear, practical guidance that helps you build your knowledge and skills, and support the person with greater confidence.

What’s inside AT4U Hygiene
Build your knowledge of showering and bathing AT with foundational learning and four practical modules.
Introduction:Â Foundational knowledge:
Understand the AT user’s needs, abilities and limitations. Explore personal factors such as body dimensions, mobility, transfers, cognition and pressure care, and consider how their needs may change over time.
Module 1: Shower AT
Learn what to consider about the shower layout, barriers and available space. Explore shower stools, chairs and other options, with instructional videos to build your practical skills.
Module 2: Bath AT
Consider the person, their bathing environment and the task. Explore bath boards, tub transfer benches, swivel bathers, bath clamps, steps and lifts, supported by instructional videos.
Module 3:Â Complex shower AT
Understand features such as recline, tilt in space, seat configurations, adjustable seat height and backrest options. Explore manual and powered options, with videos demonstrating complex shower AT.
Module 4:Â Shower accessories
Explore accessory options to support washing, drying and personal hygiene when reach, movement or balance are limited, or when wounds need to be protected from water.
We know what it’s like to second-guess an assistive technology recommendation.
To feel rushed, unsupported, or unsure if the product you’ve selected is actually the best fit.
We’ve worked in a variety of settings for decades, supporting people with basic to complex needs and mentoring other clinicians in assistive technology. We’ve seen what happens when assistive technology isn’t well-matched, and how much pressure there is to get it right.
We build our courses from that experience, and from the gaps we remember facing ourselves.
This is the resource we wish we had: clear, practical, and designed to help you make informed decisions with greater confidence.
