As the Director of Clinical Services at Lighthouse Therapy, I’m often asked about the resources and materials we provide to our therapists. In this post, I’ll outline how we support our teletherapists in building their digital libraries and accessing essential assessment tools. Our goal is to empower clinicians to deliver high-quality services efficiently while also investing in their professional growth.

Building Your Personal Digital Library

At Lighthouse Therapy, we recognize the value of a robust digital resource collection for teletherapists. Here’s how we support this:

• Encouragement to develop a personal digital library
• Access to therapist-curated lists of free online resources
• Ongoing additions to resource lists based on real-world use and recommendations

This approach ensures that therapists can build a toolkit that serves them well beyond their time with Lighthouse.

Subscription-Based Resources

We provide access to several subscription-based platforms:

• Boom Cards: A versatile tool for various disciplines, including speech-language pathology and counseling
• Because Neatness Matters: A specialized program for occupational therapists
• OT Kit: Physical materials for eligible students, mirroring what the therapist has on their end

These resources enhance the teletherapy experience for both clinicians and students.

• Remote testing materials, including digital test stimulus books
• Electronic rating scales with Lighthouse-provided accounts
• Paper protocols mailed to therapists and students as needed
• Prepaid return envelopes for students to return materials
• Access to computerized scoring through test publishers

Efficiency in Documentation

To streamline the assessment process, we offer:

• School-based report templates
• Customizable report shells for quick data input

These tools help therapists meet school requirements while maximizing their time spent on direct student care.

The Lighthouse Advantage

• Support therapists in their professional development
• Ensure access to up-to-date assessment materials
