As I create monthly themes that I can reuse each year in order to preserve my time and energy I’m adding a themed prize to my prize box each month. Each of my patients can visit the prize box at the end of their appointment as long as they finish all their work. In fact, …
Disney shorts are the secret to my success with telehealth. When the word switched to online treatment due to the COVID-19 pandemic I started using these videos as an unstructured activity for grammar, pragmatic langauge, and narratives.
