Therapists get told that we shouldn’t be “inContinue reading “Guest Post: Are We In This For The Money?”

I’ve been searching for years to find a telehealth version of Hungry Hungry Hippos that can be played for free via web browser. I feel like it has to be possible for someone who knows more about computers than I do – basically something like this game, where each player controls their hippo with oneContinue reading “Zoo Feeder: Telehealth Activity”

While recording, I learned that she wrote a book about her experience as a therapist with ADHD, which you may recall isContinue reading “Interview with Amy Baglietto, Counsellor and Author”

This includes any and all DSM diagnoses.) This list wasContinue reading “Neurodivergent Accommodations List”

I have some wonderful and amazing news for everyone who has been following the CareDash saga. I’m a little bit behind schedule here since this update is from February – sorry, I follow a lot of issues and don’t always see every single alert. I’d like to thank my colleague who gave me the headsContinue reading “The End of CareDash”

Sorry is a classic board game similar to Ludo, where up to four players take turns trying to get four pieces from the Start point to a Home around the board. Most kids are familiar with the game and can use it as a tool for taking turns or to just build rapport by playingContinue reading “Sorry For Telehealth”
