Finding the right amount of therapy materials is a struggle for many clinicians. It’s hard to find the balance between having enough options, without having so many choices it feels overwhelming.

Now that we have access to digital resources, we also have to think about how to use technology responsibly and effectively. 

That’s why I invited Dr. Karen Rose to episode 204 of the De Facto Leaders podcast to discuss how digital platforms can minimize cognitive fatigue and improve communication on multidisciplinary teams. 

Dr. Karen Rose has over two decades of experience as a pediatric speech and language pathologist, fueling her passion for improving healthcare. As the former Vice President of Research and Clinical Development at Cognishine, she provided clinical and academic guidance and contributed to numerous research projects. She is now engaged in postdoctoral research and continues to work with Cognishine as an external advisor. Her work has been published in numerous internationally renowned journals.

In this conversation, we discuss:

✅How different clinical disciplines can collaborate with each other, as well as IT professionals to create engaging therapy resources.

✅Using technology to enhance (but not replace) interactive in-person experiences.

✅Thinking of digital platforms and therapy materials as a communication tool for team collaboration and parent coaching. 

✅Leveraging online materials to provide scaffolding for therapists so they don’t have to start from scratch; while still allowing room for engagement and creativity.
