What happens between therapy sessions often determines whether progress carries over or fades. In this episode of Brainstorms: Functional Neurorehab for SLPs, Zach Smith, MS, CCC-SLP, and Renee Garrett, MSEd, CCC-SLP, CBIS, take a closer look at how app-enabled neurorehabilitation is reshaping the way clinicians support patients beyond the therapy room. As digital tools become more integrated into care, they are helping shift intervention from episodic sessions to more continuous, real-world practice.
Together, they examine what makes app-based interventions effective, including key principles like motor learning, cognitive carryover, and context-specific practice. You’ll hear how clinicians can thoughtfully incorporate digital platforms without losing clinical reasoning, and how app-generated data can support more responsive, individualized care.
They also share practical strategies for helping patients bridge the gap between structured therapy and everyday life. From maintaining adherence to navigating distractions, fatigue, and access barriers, this episode offers a balanced look at both the opportunities and real-world challenges of integrating technology into neurorehabilitation.
