If your agency is using Therap, and you would like to put a link to Therap’s website from your agency’s website, or internal site, you can select from a bunch of Therap images and animations we’ve designed for that purpose. Below are some samples, but to see the full range of choices and to get the code for them, visit this page.

Also, if you’re putting on links, you might also think of joining our Points Program whereby you can earn points for putting a link to our site! The site will tell you of the benefits you will receive from joining the program and other details. View Site

Helo, to all visiting Therapians.
If anyone’s noticed, we didn’t color the hotel orange this time around with our banners, only the orange front desk stands! However, this time around we have again come up with a T-Girl – Justin double team plenary opening session! Heres a video of T-Girl from there!

And we’ve been sitting on a rap by Jeremy, Richard’s son, for a long time, thinking of a video for it where T-Girl could breakdance. Finally, we’ve done something and we’re dying to show it to people. Its already on our Facebook page and Youtube.

We are also opening up a contest to have our users make some videos of their own! We’d have them upload to us, and then we have a prize for the video that gets the most views! So, get on your phone cams, or if you have a proper camera then good, but more importantly think about what you want the video to be about! Our theme is “My Therap Video”. So, it can be rants about how you love Therap, to something a lot more critical like how it allowed you to save costs with the move to electronic records, to anything else you might want to tell others about Therap! Check out the My Therap Video site for details, and to upload your videos.

Google has already had an impact on language, quite common to hear someone say “Google it!”. As of yesterday, I have been saying things like “YouTube it”, or “YouTubing”, and that is so because Therap does have a YouTube page, and lately, we’ve been updating it and using it more then ever. Everyones welcome to go pay a visit and share their thoughts on our videos, our training, and our services and do share with your friends too.

Started by one of our very own Therapite, the fascination for getting hold our very own Therap flair has since been growing. We are absolutely in love with these little gems. If you want one for yourself then all you have to do is have your own Facebook profile and search for “Therap” by visiting Pieces of Flair page.

Our training games developer Tashlima shared a nice article with the team this morning. The piece was about “Understanding Your Brain for Better Design: Left vs. Right”

All of us in the team jumped right in to find out which part of ours play the more dominant role in our thinking and design process (for fun’s sake). Oh just in case you were wondering, we use both sides of our brain i.e the left and the right hemisphere but which side plays a more dominant role dictates how we perceive things around us. If I were you I’d take some time to click the link to the article mentioned above Its worth a read and plus taking the quiz (end of the article) can help give you some insight on how it all works

Just to give the gist, the left brain is said to handle organization and logic while the right brain depends on visual markers or look for visual references as information. Oh, just thought I’d post how we (design team) scored after taking the Right Brain vs Left Brain Creativity Test.

Many of you who have been using Therap for some time now know about the our splash page messages. We often put up helpful tips, welcome notifications, holiday greetings, news and information in the form of graphic or short comic strips. Here are some of the recent ones you may have come across. Hope you all like it as much as we have loved making them for you. Do feel free to comment on them and send us your feedback on how we can better represent our ideas in our splash page messages

Phew! The updates to the Therap applications have been made and what a week it was. The designers had one very important item to offer this time – Therap’s Automated Training for CDs!
Just download the files from the Training Page, its inside a zip file [with instructions!], then write TherapTraining.iso onto a blank CD.

We packed up all the automated training we created before, polished them, and added new stuff too. This time we focused on making it a more complete tool for use in front of a class. Try playing the training modules on a projector in your next training and let us know what you think! Look below for some of the options put in to assist trainers in using this tool.

This is the screen from where you can access the training, its documentation, and other things.

You can use this form to enter in Self-Enroll information you decided to use for your agency. Do this prior to starting training and when T-Girl shows Self-Enrolling, she will display this information to your class

You can customize the playlist of training modules by checking unchecking the boxes beside the items on the playlist. If you will use Self Enroll, you

The Docs section has some documents for download - A User Guide, a collection of tips for holding a successful training on Therap, and copies of all the scripts of T-Girl's sessions
