Reproduce this Note-Taking Booklet for Inservice Training of Staff and Volunteers.  After previewing a CD, as you play an appropriate track for a training session, pause the CD player frequently to facilitate note-taking and discussion.  The questions below, found in each section, are intended for Inservice discussion or your personal note taking.

However, the most important piece of information you write below and discuss with Staff and Volunteers is the resident in your facility with whom you feel the concept may be appropriate.  If you have a higher-functioning resident with which to adapt the idea presented in a track, list his/her name below.  This will facilitate your implementation of the concept, as well as possible inclusion as a Care Plan Goal, Approach, Progress Note, MDS assessment, etc.
