April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month 🧠

Parkinson’s disease is often associated with tremor, but it is actually a complex neurological condition that can affect many areas of daily life.

It occurs when the brain produces less dopamine, a chemical that helps control smooth and coordinated movement.

While movement symptoms are the most recognized, Parkinson’s can also affect:
• Speech and voice
• Swallowing
• Facial expression
• Thinking and memory

Understanding the condition is the first step toward earlier recognition, better support, and improved quality of life.

Speech, voice, swallowing, and cognitive therapy can all play an important role in care.

Last week, my colleague and I had the pleasure of presenting our research, Respiratory Muscle Strength Training in the Myositis Population, at the Global Conference on Myositis in Lisbon, Portugal.

We had an incredible experience sharing our findings, discussing the role of speech pathologists in dysphagia management for individuals diagnosed with Myositis, and networking with medical professionals from across the world.

We are beyond proud of this accomplishment and humbled by the incredible support we have received throughout this process.

For those looking for some light reading, our research was published in the Journal of Rare Diseases in February of this year. Check the citation 👀

Caring for someone with dementia can come with many hidden stresses that others may not always see.

From constant decision-making to navigating communication changes and uncertainty about what comes next, caregivers often carry a significant emotional and mental load.

Many families feel like they have to figure everything out on their own.

But we know that support and guidance can make a meaningful difference.

Dementia Navigation provides families with education, practical strategies, and ongoing support to help make the journey more manageable.

You don’t have to navigate dementia alone.

If you’re experiencing swallowing difficulties, a swallow study can provide the answers needed to move forward safely.

These studies help us see what’s happening during swallowing and provide clear information that guides care.

A swallow study can provide:
Clarity about what’s happening when you swallow
Safety recommendations to reduce aspiration risk
Confidence in knowing which foods and liquids are safest
Directions for a targeted therapy plan
Coordination with your medical team

Understanding the problem is the first step toward safer, more comfortable eating and drinking.

If you are having difficulty swallowing, call our office today to schedule a FEES swallowing evaluation.

🧠 A concussion is a brain injury that can affect higher-level brain functions.

Even when someone looks physically recovered, the brain may still be working harder to manage attention, memory, processing speed, organization, and communication.

These changes can impact work, school, conversations, and daily routines.

Persistent symptoms shouldn’t be ignored. Speech therapy can help address cognitive-communication changes and support recovery.

If you or a loved one is struggling to manage your responsibilities after a brain injury, call our office to schedule an evaluation today

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month

Not all brain injury symptoms are visible.

Many people living with a brain injury experience challenges that others may not see, such as:
• Difficulty concentrating
• Memory changes
• Slower processing
• Fatigue
• Word-finding difficulties
• Trouble organizing or multitasking

Because these symptoms are invisible, they are often misunderstood or overlooked.

These symptoms can significantly impact daily life, work, and relationships.

Awareness helps create understanding, support, and access to the right therapies.

If you or a loved one notices cognitive or communication changes after a concussion, TBI, stroke, or other neurological event, evaluation and therapy can help.

Chronic throat clearing
Hoarseness that won’t go away
A constant lump-in-the-throat feeling

It may not be “just allergies.” It could be LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux).

Unlike typical reflux, LPR often affects the throat and voice without causing heartburn.

Over time, irritation can lead to muscle tension, vocal strain, chronic cough, and swallowing discomfort.

Speech therapy does not cure reflux — but it helps manage its impact on vocal function and daily comfort

Through targeted voice therapy, respiratory training, and behavioral strategies, we work to:
• Reduce throat clearing and chronic coughing
• Improve the way your voice sounds and feels
• Decrease muscle strain and tightness
• Support better feeling communication

If persistent throat symptoms are affecting your daily life, a specialized evaluation may help identify the next steps.
You don’t have to live with chronic irritation
