✨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."

Hi Reader,Today, I'm sharing a new patient handout that I created for someone I worked with recently. It's designed to help people take more control over memory lapses in conversation. I explain further in the Featured EST Post & Handout section. I hope this email finds you safe and well. If you come across something you think I should share in a future email, or if you're a creator and would like to recommend your own work, please hit reply and let me know! My goal is simply to create and...

Hi Reader,Help me decide how to organize multi-skill handouts for the print book! See "What I'm working on" for more details. Today, I'm sharing a completely updated patient handout. Link is in the 'Featured EST post & handout' section below. I've also been taking Hospice continuing education courses. One of the SLPs shared a treasure-trove of fact sheets. You can find links to several in the "Something worth sharing" section at the end of this email. I picked ones that apply across levels of...

Hi Reader,I took a deep dive into what actually makes a SOAP note clear, defensible, and quick to write. It's been a labor of love (or desperation?), but it's ready! The free download is long, but it's easy to skim. I included guiding questions, verb banks, sentence starters, and examples. If you'd like to write your session notes faster or more succinctly, this guide just might help you! 🧠What I'm working on Almost all of my blog time was dedicated to the SOAP note guide, but I did figure...
