Introducing Neurofit to a New Client — OT Clinics & Rehabilitation Providers
For occupational therapists and rehabilitation providers using Neurofit as a home practice tool between in-person sessions.
Who this is for
You're working with clients on cognitive rehabilitation goals — attention, memory, processing speed, or executive functioning — and you want to extend the work happening in session into structured, measurable home practice.
At a Glance
|
|
|
|---|---|
| Best intro moment | During a session, while you're both at a screen |
| What the client needs | A computer with a mouse and internet connection |
| Where they log in | activity.neurofit.ca |
| Time for first activity | About 5 minutes |
| What they see first | Their Homework page with any activities you've assigned |
The guiding principle
Frame it as homework, not a tool. Clients already understand "do this before your next appointment." That framing works — no product pitch required.
Neurofit gives you structured data from the time between sessions: how a client approaches tasks, whether they follow through, and how their performance trends over weeks. That's clinically useful whether you're writing a progress note, adjusting a treatment plan, or preparing a funding justification.
How to introduce it
Do it in session — not over email.
Pull up activity.neurofit.ca during the appointment and walk through the first login together. Show them the Homework page. Let them see the first activity for 60 seconds. Once they've seen it with you present, the follow-up email becomes a reminder, not an introduction.
What to say:
"I'm going to give you one short exercise to do at home before we meet again. It takes about five minutes, runs on any computer — same as checking your email. I'll be able to see how you're doing, and we can talk about it next time."
Setting up the first assignment
Keep it simple. You can adjust anything at any time.
| Setting | Starting recommendation |
|---|---|
| Frequency | 3× per week (e.g., Mon / Wed / Fri) |
| Duration | 5–10 minutes per session |
| Activity type | Match to your primary goal — attention for focus/impulse challenges, memory for recall and sequencing |
| Difficulty | Leave at default — adjust once you've seen first-session data |
| Hints | Higher hint frequency for new clients; reduce as they build confidence |
Tip: A light schedule followed consistently is more valuable than an ambitious one ignored.
Common challenges
"They got the invite but haven't logged in." Tell them directly to check their spam folder — invite emails occasionally land there. The subject line includes your name, which helps them find it. A verbal reminder at the next appointment will always outperform a follow-up email.
"Their toggle is grey and they can't log in." Go to the Client List and confirm the toggle next to their name is green (Enabled). A grey toggle blocks login regardless of whether the invite was sent.
"I want to adjust the assignment after they've started." Go ahead — changes apply immediately from the client's profile. No need to create a new assignment.
What the data gives you
- Engagement data: how often they log in, session duration, completion rates
- Performance trends: accuracy and speed across cognitive domains over time
- Progress notes: exportable data you can reference directly in session notes and funding letters
