>> My STC Tools.org is designed to make it easy and enjoyable to access the tools
and educational materials contained in the Steps workbook.
When clients first come to the site they will see an introductory animation.
The message of this animation is that even though a positive diagnosis can be overwhelming,
the steps program and the care team are there to support them.
This video plays right on the homepage so clients can access it easily.
The website is designed with a grid navigation that encourages your clients
to explore the site and the materials.
Each square contains the name of a topic, an image related to that topic and an icon
that indicates what type of resource the client will find when they click on a square.
There are three types of resources on My STC Tools, videos, information and tools.
The video pages feature a short description and a video clip.
The information pages feature a viewable PDF that clients can read, print and download.
And the tool pages feature a description of what the tools can be used for
and a link to download the tools.
Clients are encouraged to download the tools so they can complete them offline
with the help of their navigators.
There's no login required for the website and no information is collected or stored,
so you can reassure your clients that everything they do is completely confidential.
The site is accessible on computers, tablets and smart phones.
This means it can be accessed either in the clinic, during home visits
or by clients in-between sessions.
In general it is best that you work with your clients to explain the website
and what they will find on it before having them explore the site on their own.
