Hi Reader, I’ve been talking a lot lately about new treatments, resources, and features in the Virtual Rehab Center. But you might be wondering… exactly what is the Virtual Rehab Center and how is it different from the Tactus apps? 🤔 Great questions! Let me start by telling you how they’re alike:
I happen to think they're both pretty amazing, but they're not the same. The Virtual Rehab Center is a comprehensive online platform for adult speech therapy.
Let's break that down: ✅ Comprehensive - that means everything is in one place. Aphasia, cognition, swallowing, speech. High-level, low-level, mid-level. Over 40 treatments and growing. ✅ Online - meaning you just need an internet connection and a web browser to use it. You can use it on a computer or an iPad. ✅ Platform - it's everything you need to support your patients and save time. In addition to our treatments, members have access to:
✅ For Adult Speech Therapy - that's you - the speech-language pathologists we invite to become members. It's a professional tool, available exclusively for SLPs. So, that's the big picture of what the Virtual Rehab Center is: an incredible website that has everything you need. 🙌 There's a lot more I'd love to tell you, but I'll leave that for next time. In the meantime, sign up for a free 21-day trial and see what you think: https://tactustherapy.com/rehab
I'm sure you're going to love it, and your patients are going to benefit. 🥰 Talk soon, -Megan P.S. Let me know if you have any questions. The Virtual Rehab Center is HIPAA-compliant, so you can try it out with real patients to get their opinions, too. 💬 |
