Supervision Experts
Our supervision investigations evaluate the impact of supervision, or lack thereof, on the injury of an individual as it applies to a variety of settings. Effective supervision requires the training necessary to identify hazardous conditions and behaviors before they cause injuries, and the active involvement of intervention before things go wrong.
Our supervision experts are coaches, teachers, chaperones, lifeguards, trainers and rehabilitation professionals who speak to the standards of care for organizing and supervising child and adult activities. Experts in facilities, sports, recreation and supervision evaluate the safety of sports facilities, schools, playgrounds, camps, child care centers, nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. Product engineers examine the safety of toys, children’s products and adaptive/medical equipment. Our human factors experts evaluate the distinctive perception, behavior, and cognitive abilities of children and adults.

- Supervision Plans of Care - Expert Introduction
Based upon the setting, an individual with a disability can be known as a student, resident, patient, client or consumer. These settings vary and may include, among others, schools, residential rehabilitation facilities, hospitals, nursing homes and long term care facilities.
Regardless of the setting or the descriptive term, an individual with a disability that is served by an agency or system requires a Plan for services. This Plan changes in format and title depending upon the setting and State but essentially, is a document centered around a person’s individual needs that describe the services that person requires to reach his/her maximum potential.
This person centered Plan is holistic and inclusive. It is developed by a team of professionals, paraprofessionals and/or direct care workers with the individual and, when appropriate, the family/guardian.
