The Certified Home Accessibility Therapist Program—Setting the Standard in Home Modification

The Certified Home Accessibility Therapist (CHAT) program is redefining excellence in home modification practice for occupational therapists. With the demand for accessible, safe, and inclusive homes on the rise, therapists need advanced, specialized training to meet the complex needs of their clients.

What Sets the CHAT Program Apart?

Unlike other home modification courses, the CHAT program is built by and for occupational therapists. It provides:

  • Comprehensive Curriculum: Covering everything from foundational principles to advanced problem-solving for unique client scenarios.
  • Evidence-Based Practice: Integrates the latest research on fall prevention, functional independence, and long-term outcomes.
  • Hands-On Learning: Offers experiential modules and real-world case studies, ensuring therapists can apply concepts directly to practice.
  • Client-Centered Focus: Teaches how to incorporate client goals, preferences, and cultural considerations into every modification plan.

Why Specialization Matters

Home modifications are not one-size-fits-all. Therapists must assess performance skills, environmental factors, and client-specific barriers to create effective solutions. The CHAT program equips OTs to:

  • Conduct thorough home assessments
  • Collaborate with clients, families, and contractors
  • Navigate funding and regulatory challenges
  • Document outcomes and demonstrate value to payers

By completing the CHAT program, therapists can confidently deliver advanced home modification services that improve safety, independence, and quality of life for clients of all ages and abilities.
