Hi Reader,

Ever turned to your SLP bestie and said, “Wouldn’t it be cool if…?” (...SOAP notes wrote themselves? ...patients got real-time feedback on their speech? ...therapy was more like real life?)

Yeah, same. So we decided to take those “Wouldn’t it be cool if…” ideas, combine them with evidence-based practices, and make them a reality. Because making our work easier while improving patient outcomes is what Tactus is all about.

🎙️ Instant Feedback Through Speech Recognition

Wouldn’t it be amazing if:
🔹 A patient with dysarthria could practice functional phrases and get immediate feedback on which sounds were harder to understand? How about comparing their attempts after using a strategy? ✅ We have that in Using Speech Strategies.​
🔹 Someone working on word-finding got feedback on which words they nailed and what was missing? ✅ Yep, we've got that too. In 3 different treatments.

With speech recognition, your patients get real-time feedback on how they're doing that they can see and hear.

📱Real-World Functional Treatments

Wouldn’t it be cool if therapy felt more like real life?
🔹 Text chains, menus, weather reports? ✅ Got ‘em in Reading Functional Materials.​
🔹 Entering payment information while getting interrupted by phone calls for alternating attention practice? ✅ Yep. It's called Working with Disruptions.

Our treatments are carefully designed with realistic scenarios, pictures, and language that simulate modern life.

🏠 Homework That Adjusts Itself

Wouldn't it be marvelous if my patients' homework got easier when they were struggling and harder when they were nailing it?
✅ Free home practice for patients that increases and decreases in difficulty based on performance, keeping them in the "frustration-free zone."
✅ Hints are available to help patients be successful while working independently.

🧠 Built-In Metacognition & Strategy Training

Wouldn't it be revolutionary if computerized practice actually incorporated evidence-based therapy to repetitively practice strategies and build awareness?
✅ Patients complete pre-therapy metacognitive predictions & strategy selection. Post-therapy reflections encourage self-awareness.
✅ Strategies are explicitly taught, practiced, and reflected upon through repeated practice to encourage true learning and generalization to real life.

📝 Auto-Generated SOAP Notes

Wouldn’t it be game-changing if I didn't have to write up all the detailed therapy notes after each session?
✅ The Virtual Rehab Center gives you a report covering the O & A sections of your SOAP note with enough of the S & P sections to get you started. Just copy & paste!​
✅ Our reports are written by SLPs like you. They're not AI - this is real intelligence.

P.S. In case you missed it, I covered what the Virtual Rehab Center is—your all-in-one online platform for adult speech therapy - and how it's different from our apps in our last newsletter. Always good to start with the basics.
