The company I work for has been developing a therapy management tool to help us do our jobs. With Covid-19, the teletherapy portion of the platform has been accelerated allowing us to use teletherapy to see our caseload. I am grateful for this change as it has allowed me to continue obtaining my hours for my clinical fellowship for ASHA. As they develop the teletherapy platform, I have been providing training support to my coworkers with a but if digital tech support. I knew my digital background would prove beneficial to any employer, but I didn’t expect my skills to be so directly applicable so soon into my first job as an SLP.
Over the past few weeks, I have been learning the new tool, establishing processes and procedures, and providing training support to the managers, my coworkers, and clients. I also had to start delivering teletherapy to my 30 clients.
I had some teletherapy experience in graduate school, but I don’t really have any teletherapy materials. Getting my practice up and running quickly meant combing through the materials I have on-hand and figuring out how to make them work.
The Literacy Packs from Therapy Insights have been tremendously helpful for the language kids in elementary school. Megan from Therapy Insights interviewed me about how I have been using them.
I am enjoying teletherapy and excited to see what else I can learn.
