Hi Reader,
​
I've been having fun learning how to make YouTube videos. I released a new video this week, giving a quick overview of one of my handouts and my tips for how to use it in therapy.

Thank you so much to those of you who responded to my poll on what kind of videos to make. I really appreciate your supportive comments!

​Write better cognitive goals with 54 daily activities. Use the 2-page checklist with your patients to help find meaningful goals for therapy. Ask your patient, “What do you want to do better by the time we discharge?”

I made a YouTube video in which I give a quick overview of the handout plus my best tips for how I use it with my patients.

Kerry Goode is a "silent prankster" who stirs up chaos from the comfort of his wheelchair. He is a Black man with ALS, a former NFL football player. Check out his cartoon on Facebook with witty and insightful commentary or his foundation. (I've seen two cartoons so far in the foundation's feed.)
