SPEAK GENTLY – A Message from Our Practice
This beautiful old poem reminds us of something we live out every day in our work as medical Speech-Language Pathologists:
"Speak gently: 'tis a little thing
Dropped in the heart's deep well;
The good, the joy, that it may bring,
Eternity shall tell."
Whether we are supporting a stroke survivor learning to speak again, helping an elderly patient reclaim safe swallowing, or working with a patient to find their voice—our practice is built on the power of gentle, patient, purposeful communication.
Every word matters. Every interaction counts.
We believe in:
* Speaking gently to those in recovery, because healing takes time.
* Speaking gently to those who feel unheard, because communication is a human right.
* Speaking gently to families, because they carry the weight of care too.
The quiet work we do may seem small—but it can change lives.
