The MPower app empowers your communications so you know what activities and exercises your therapist would like completed, and you can update the therapist about your home progress, all from your mobile device. With a simple tap of a screen, you can each have real-time updates. You and your child’s therapist are always on the same page.
1. Your child’s therapist uploads therapy information for your child to the MPower app with instructions.
2. Follow the therapist’s instructions and when the child completes the assigned activity, touch the screen in the MPower app to indicate your child has successfully completed the assignment.
Every time the child completes an assignment, the therapist gets a completion notification. Now your child’s entire team knows which assignments have been completed and can gauge progress. Easy. No more lost notes, unanswered texts or emails, or 10-second conversations as you are running to your next appointment.
The MPower app makes it easy to communicate and measure your child’s successes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The MPower app was developed by Robyn Laub, a licensed Occupational Therapist, with more than 25 years of clinical experience. As a parent and therapist, Robyn has dealt with the communication challenges we’ve all faced when trying to get therapy progress updates.
The frustration is real but with the creation of the MPower app, communication can now be simple, effective, and right at your fingertips.
Subscribing to the MPower app supports carryover of your therapy programs at home. It puts everything in one place and helps to keep both therapists and parents organized.
When surveying Pediatric Therapists around the world, we found the biggest obstacle when managing home programs was “communication”. Email, text, hard copy, verbal instructions were all getting lost and creating frustration across the board. The MPower app simplifies the process and is easy to use, intuitive, and actually gets the child engaged so they want to participate in their progress.
The MPower app allows therapists to keep a library of .pdf or JPEG therapy programs that can be easily and efficiently uploaded to clients’ portfolios. Easily keep track of what you have assigned to families so you can follow up with them with empathy and with a supportive approach.
The number one issue pediatric therapists and parents face together is communication. Therapists are rushing to meet with their next patient, parents are running to take someone to soccer practice or pick a sibling up from school, or sometimes the message gets jumbled by the child somewhere between the therapist’s office and the front seat of the parent’s car. It happens and it’s a struggle. The therapist has important information to share and parents not only want to be engaged in their child’s progress, but they’d also like to participate. The MPower app bridges that gap.
With the MPower app, therapists and parents now have a two-way communication tool to track progress, receive information from your therapist, and give your child a sense of ownership in their accomplishments. The MPower app enables your therapist to recommend activities for your child to complete at home. As the activities are completed, you can provide updates to the therapist in the MPower app and your child can earn completion badges, which they can proudly share.
The MPower app is an ideal tool to help improve therapist and parent communication, as well provide an accountability pathway for the child to take ownership in their progress. Two-way communication happens in real-time, and your child receives recognition for their efforts. The best way to make a child feel like they are making progress is to give them a sense of accomplishment and the MPower app provides that recognition.
