Save your spot
Fewer trips back for a missed measurement
Jen Bachynsky, a community occupational therapist for decades, walks through the latest in phone-based 3D scanning: how it fits into a home assessment, where it helps, where it still falls short, and what it looks like in a real home.
What we'll cover
- Why revisits and missed measurements happen
- How phone LiDAR scanning works, and its limits
- A live scan of a bathroom, start to finish
Certificate of attendance included. Can't make it live? Register and we'll send you the replay.

Questions
Is it free?
Yes, the session is free for everyone.
Will there be a replay?
