I was looking back at ASHA's 2025 SLP Health Care Survey, and a few numbers stuck with me. Over HALF of medical SLPs said they perform unpaid work. Nearly 1 in 5 SLPs performs unpaid work every. single. day. The top barriers to providing optimal clinical care? Administrative tasks (53%) and productivity demands + lack of time (42%). Yikes. π΅βπ« I don't have a fix for the whole system. But I do think about this a lot. What would make this job more sustainable? What would give you back even a little bit of the energy that you're pouring out every day? Part of my answer is the "What SLPs Need to Know" series. This is a free collection of clinical guides covering the disorders you see every day. It's written by SLPs, updated with current research, and organized so you can find what you need fast. These articles are full of information about assessments, treatment options, strategies, and clinical takeaways for the adult neuro population.
The other (even bigger!) part of the equation is the Tactus Virtual Rehab Center, an all-in-one platform that gives you ready-made functional materials for adults. It offers evidence-based, interactive exercises across the adult neuro population:

Have you ever been told that progress stops at a certain point? That once you're months or years post-stroke or brain injury, you've gotten as far as you're going to get? The science tells a different story. Brains can re-wire and adapt long after an injury. Here are a few things that help: Repetition β doing something over and over strengthens pathways in the brain (our apps are a one-time purchase that gives you unlimited practice!) Intensity β this can be either the number of times you do...
Hello! I love May, because this is when the rest of the world gets a small glimpse into why this work matters so much to us. To celebrate, I wanted to share something I love and return to myself: a collection of books, documentaries, and films about people living with the disorders we treat every day. I first put this list together because I wanted something to hand to a patient or family member to help them feel seen, or to help them understand what their person is going through β in a way...
