In honour of WORLD STROKE DAY as well as AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) Awareness month, we have made sure that the hospitals we serve are stocked up on communication boards!

A hospital communication board allows patients with limited or no verbal ability, especially post-stroke, to express their needs and participate in their own care. In a hospital environment where miscommunication can have serious consequences, AAC boards provide a low-tech method for communication.

AAC boards can aid patients with reducing frustration and anxiety by giving them a way to voice their needs, helping to decrease their anxiety and improve their emotional well-being.

The board can also aid with increased autonomy and control by enabling patients to make choices and express their preferences. AAC boards give them a sense of control over their hospital stay. This promotes dignity and independence, even for those with severe communication difficulties.

It is International Stuttering Awareness Day!

Today we would just like to remind you to be patient when talking to someone who stutters. Avoid finishing their sentences unless they invite you to do so. Keep eye contact and be patient – many people who stutter just need a little extra time to finish their sentences.

If you are a parent, educate your little ones that some children might sometimes struggle to get words out, but this never means that you may make fun of them. Instead use it as an opportunity to teach your little ones about kindness diversity and inclusivity. They just might make a friend for life.

If you are a teacher, keep an extra eye out for those little ones requiring an extra bit of patience and love, as well as someone to be an advocate for their voice. Educating your class will help keep those bullies at bay as people/kids only fear or tease what they do not understand.

Contact us anytime for more information or to make an appointment for someone who stutters.

Did you know that ADHD can impact more than focus? It can also affect communication, listening, and self-expression. Speech therapy can help children and adults build strategies to express themselves with confidence.

Let’s spread understanding, break the stigma, and support every voice.

Today we celebrate International Day of Older Persons – a reminder of the wisdom, resilience, and stories our elders carry.

At Jacqueline Schoeman Speech Therapists, we believe that communication is connection. Supporting older adults to keep their voices strong, their conversations flowing, and their laughter heard is at the heart of what we do.

Let’s honour, listen to, and learn from the incredible older persons in our lives today – and every day.

Every year on 29 September, we celebrate World Heart Day. This is a global initiative by the World Heart Federation to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and of the importance of living a healthy lifestyle to keep your heart healthy.

The good news is that you can prevent and fight heart disease. An important preventive measure to lower risk of cardiovascular disease is managing health behaviours and risk factors.

But how do you know which risk factors you have? Regular screening tests once to twice yearly (depending on your risk factors) is an excellent way to protect your heart. Annual screening tests include:

1. Having your blood pressure taken
2. Measuring your cholesterol and blood glucose levels
3. Reviewing your BMI score and waist circumference
