    Welcome to a site devoted to sharing experience, knowledge and resources to make your job of being a great therapist a lot easier.

My passion is working with adults and children in home health but I have also worked in rehab, sub-acute rehab, hand therapy, transitional living for TBI, and hospital-based outpatient settings.
