Recently, I asked SLPs who use the Virtual Rehab Center about their adult neuro caseloads. I wanted to know how they spend their time, what materials they reach for, and what makes their job easier. A few of the answers surprised me, and I thought you might find them interesting too. 👇 I heard from SLPs across settings: inpatient, SNF, outpatient, private practice, acute, and more. Before signing up for the Virtual Rehab Center, they had the same frustrations: • Not enough prep time • Lack of updated, functional materials for adults • Limited (or expensive) options for home practice Does any of that sound familiar? 🥴 What changed for themA lot, as it turns out. 89% of SLPs surveyed said the Virtual Rehab Center saves them time. Among those clinicians, many report saving an HOUR or more every week. 🤯 That's because everything's ready to go: interactive treatments, patient education handouts, and home exercise programs you can assign in a few clicks. Free homework = unlimited repsWhen asked what the Virtual Rehab Center does better than other tools, home practice came up more than anything else. Home exercise programs can be created and customized in minutes, so you can give patients meaningful daily practice. 💪 It's free for your patients, adds reps/intensity, and can boost progress between sessions. A peek insideI love seeing what other SLPs use in therapy, so this was my favorite thing to look at. When I asked which treatments they reach for most, a clear pattern emerged: functional, real-world tasks targeting a range of goals. 👂 Everyday Listening Comprehension 📲 Working with Disruptions – a personal favorite for high-level attention! 💬 Following Multi-Step Directions 🎟️ Reading Functional Materials 💪 Strengthening Verb Networks The best part? In the Virtual Rehab Center, difficulty adjusts automatically based on patient performance, so tasks are never too easy or too hard. 👆 Click on each treatment above to learn more & watch a demo. The big picture98% of SLPs named a specific task or process that feels noticeably easier when using the Virtual Rehab Center. On average, they rated their likelihood of recommending it to another clinician at 9 out of 10. "It's a must-have and worth every penny for the resources, flexibility, and customizability of session and homework materials and tasks." Remember those frustrations up top? This is what it looks like on the other side of them. I'd love for you to see it for yourself. 💜 The best way to know if it fits your caseload is to try it. Get your first 3 weeks free!

A few weeks ago, I started answering a question I hear from lots of SLPs: "What do I actually *do* for cognitive therapy?" So far, I've covered executive function and my simple formula for cognitive therapy. Today, I'll break down attention. Let's get into it. 👇 Attention: A Step-by-Step Guide ⚠️ Always start here Before you do anything else, help your patient identify external distractions (noise, clutter, their phone, the environment) and internal distractions (pain, fatigue, hunger,...
Last week's email about executive functioning got a lot of positive feedback. Many of you asked for the step-by-step version of attention and memory too. My answer is a resounding yes! Those are coming. We'll also continue to add to the What SLPs Need to Know series But first, let's talk about a formula I use for all cognitive therapy, because I think once this clicks, every domain gets less overwhelming. A quick review: Restorative approaches: improve or restore the impaired underlying...
Hey! How's your week going? This week I want to address something I've heard from a LOT of SLPs. Does this sound familiar? You've done the executive functioning CEUs, read the research, and can spout the lingo: metacognitive strategies, Goal Management Training, Goal-Plan-Do-Review/Revise. But when a patient is sitting in front of you, you start to think... "What do I actually do for executive function? What exactly is 'metacognitive strategy instruction embedded in a functional task'? Can...
