Online Tool to help with Post-stroke Hemispatial Neglect

 At our February meeting, our guest speaker was Nicole Mulcahy who brought us a great presentation on an online help she is developing for stroke patients. Please see her message below for details.  Please also consider checking it out and provide any feedback you may have. Thanks All..

I hope you’re doing well. As we’d talked about at February’s stroke support group meeting (which I thoroughly enjoyed!), I am creating a course for stroke survivors and their caregivers focused on post-stroke hemispatial neglect as part of my MUSC OTD program capstone project. I’m wondering if you might be willing to pass along the course to anyone in the support group who has this condition, or who may be interested in giving me any feedback on the course. The course consists of 6 short educational videos housed on a website I built. On the website, there is also a link to a Pre-Test to gauge baseline knowledge as well as very short Knowledge Check Quizzes to complete after viewing each video. There is also a Feedback Survey to provide general feedback on the course. In total, the course takes about 1.5-2 hours to complete. Or, individuals can choose to watch whichever videos they find useful. Video topics range from general info on post-stroke neglect (aka “left neglect,” “spatial neglect,” etc.), its impact, self-management/treatment strategies for use at home, etc. Now that I’ve recorded all videos and uploaded all content, I would love to get the course into the hands of anyone who might benefit from it!  

Here is the link to the course: https://post-stroke-hemispatial-neglec.my-free.website/ 

I’m happy to answer any questions if needed. Thank you! 

Best,
