Since I’m not going to the Convention this year, I decided to find deals that you may be interested in. Many of these companies run sales every November, so even if you’re reading this in 2020 or beyond, check them out!

Brubaker Books
I have several Brubaker Books products, and find them quite useful for certain patients. Here’s a direct quote from Susan Brubaker from the email she sent me:
Brubaker Books offers a range of treatment materials for adolescents and adults with speech, language and cognitive impairments. Since the original Workbook for Aphasia, our products have been praised for their content, adaptability, functionality, ability to improve outcomes in a meaningful and fun way, and their applicability to a variety of clinician needs.

The subscription rates are cheaper for SLPs, because we don’t have access to the CEUs for other disciplines. Use the link or the promo code to pay just $95 for a one-year Education Subscription or pay just $145 for a one-year Premium Subscription.
PTs, OTs, and nurses also save $175 off a one-year subscription and pay just $200 (regularly priced at $375) for a Premium Subscription.

Weekly planner
This is the weekly planner* I’ve been using for several years. I’ve written about how I use mine to save time.
Therapy books
I’ve been using the teaching method described in Spaced Retrieval Step by Step* since 2016 and have gotten very good results with many patients. I’ve written a tutorial, tips for moderate to severe memory impairment, and a case study.
Memory & Communication Aids for People with Dementia* is a very helpful book with lots of examples and more than 30 downloadable resources.
I’ve been reading Optimizing Cognitive Rehabilitation: Effective Instructional Methods*, and I’m learning how to apply to my patients. This teaching method is good for people who have enough cognitive impairment that trial-by-error isn’t helpful but spaced retrieval with errorless learning isn’t necessary.
Therapy tools
I hand these smooth, six-inch balls* out to patients for CTAR (chin tuck against resistance) exercises. I’ve tried a couple of different styles of balls, and this is the one that patients prefer. The fun, bright colors are a bonus!
I hand out stylus pens* to my patients often. It’s such a simple tool that can make a huge difference in how well a person can use a smart phone or other device. This ten-piece set is quite inexpensive. Of course, any time you’re at a conference or fair, be sure to pick up all those freebies!
