Hosted by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, on November 5th at the Cy-Fair ISD Visual & Performing Arts Building.

A session about connection, confidence, and clarity!

Our University Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic team spent the day at the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston – Jack Segal Academy providing residual “r” therapy using visual supports and evidence-based techniques. 📚💬

It’s incredible to see how much progress students make when therapy feels engaging, supportive, and meaningful!

Proud of the work we’re doing — and even prouder of the students putting in the effort every session 🤍

Thank you and for welcoming us into your community 🩵

🧠 Have you ever hit your head and just didn’t feel quite right afterward?

Even minor head injuries can have lasting effects, and sometimes the signs aren’t always obvious.

The HELPS Screening Tool is a quick and confidential way to check for possible symptoms of a brain injury. Each letter in HELPS stands for a key question to help identify whether further evaluation might be needed:

H – Have you ever been Hit on the head?
E – Were you seen in the Emergency Room or by a doctor for a head injury?
L – Did you ever Lose consciousness or feel dazed or confused?
P – Do you experience Problems with memory, balance, or mood?
S – Any lasting Sickness or physical symptoms?

If you answered “yes” to any of these, you may be showing signs of a traumatic brain injury and early screening can make all the difference!

Reach out to the University Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic (USLHC) for confidential help, evaluation, and support. We’re here to help you recover, reconnect, and get back to feeling like you. ❤️
