In adult neurorehabilitation, clinicians must balance evidence-based treatment, functional relevance, treatment intensity, and carryover beyond the therapy session, all within real-world constraints of time, documentation, and patient access.

This 90-minute presentation will explore a comprehensive, clinically grounded approach to adult neuro treatment using the Tactus Virtual Rehab Center. Through live demonstration and case-based discussion, participants will see how a centralized digital platform can support planning, treatment, home practice, and patient education across multiple neurogenic disorders.

The session will include clinical case studies, representing aphasia, cognitive-communication disorders, and dysphagia, to illustrate how treatment selection, cueing, and progression can be individualized while maintaining an evidence-based framework. Participants will learn how the Virtual Rehab Center integrates research-driven treatment design, intensity principles, and health-literacy-informed handouts to support both clinician efficiency and patient engagement. Current evidence related to treatment intensity, home practice, and digital therapy delivery will be reviewed.

Attendees will leave with concrete strategies to improve treatment carryover, support patient independence, and leverage digital tools to deliver comprehensive, evidence-based adult neurorehabilitation.

*NOTE: This presentation focuses on one specific product or service with limited mention of other options.
