Members Tim Posted May 10, 2023 Members Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 The May 2023 Google Meet that Mary Beth hosted was great. One of the discussion topics was people's favorite rehab resources. I collected the list of rehab resources and then added a little more information. Here are the resources that people mentioned that I was able to get listed (sorry if I missed anything.) Most of these items are discussed in separate threads and warrant their own discussions but I thought it might be nice to see them listed alongside each other.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted May 10, 2023 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 @Tim on my iPhone for some reason your document has the comments column cut off- even if I switch to landscape mode. Maybe also post it as a pic or a downloadable pdf so everyone sees all your info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tim Posted May 10, 2023 Author Members Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 I should have added Podcasts, Ted talks, and YouTube too. Could have also provided links to worksheets or exercises but that just didn't seem to fit. Feel free to respond with things that I missed, comments that you disagree with, or anything else. In any case, I hope people find it helpful. Kylie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
