✨New EST video: 4 memory tips you can use today (WRAP Method)


Hi Reader,
​
I just released a new video on YouTube! This one teaches the WRAP memory strategies with a couple of examples.

As I get more proficient with making the videos, I should start releasing them more often. That's my intention, anyway!

​
​
πŸŽ‰ Under "Diverse Voices," you'll find a fascinating discussion about how neurodiversity can be a win-win for employers.
​
​
β˜•οΈUnder "Interesting, Useful, or Fun," you'll find:

- Open-access therapy program for dysphagia in head & neck cancer.
- How SLPs can reduce risk of dehydration.
- Excellent resource for Bell's Palsy.

Feel free to reply to this email with any suggestions or comments!

New EST video

I just released a short video for patient education on the WRAP memory strategies.

In this video, I briefly teach the 4 memory strategies and give two examples of how they could be applied to real-life challenges.

If you watch the video, you'll see the "before" and "after" of a visit to the salon. I missed recording one segment and didn't have time to redo the entire video afterward!

The video goes along with the post "How to improve short term memory."
