[HumanSer] Question about Theranest

[NFB VP of TN]

Greetings!
 Congrats as well on the private practice!  I am glad that some have found Simple Practice useful. When I started my private practice, I messed with SP and Therapy Notes. I am not sure how well they interact with Jaws, but there were definitely some issues with the MAC. SP was not very responsive to my outreach to address some of the issues. I thus went a different route.
In my other counseling work(nonprofit counseling center), I am very excited about our site transitioning to a new EHR. SO far, the company has been beyond  open to listen and have made many changes already to make it more accessible. If everything goes as planned and our collaboration continues, I will definitely share updates with you all. I appreciate everyone’s posts and networking! What apps or other resources have you found perhaps recently that you are sharing with clients or assisting you in your practice?
Here is a couple of recent things that I came across:
1. As I work to complete my licensure exam, I found a study site that is very accessible. They make themselves very available to any questions and want feedback as to any accessibility issues. It is obvious that accessibility has been a priority! Check it out:

Here is a cool app that I came across using AI for clients to check in when they are struggling. It is also pretty accessible:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/woebot-your-self-care-expert/id1305375832

I look forward to hearing about any goodies you all have come across!
 Warmly,
 Jimmy and Bogey

Blindness is a mere characteristic not defining my abilities; the only disabilities in life are poor expectations and negative attitudes.
