🌈 Today is World Cerebral Palsy Day!

🙋‍♀️ This year, the theme is .

celebrates the individuality and uniqueness of every single person with lived experience of cerebral palsy – their passions, pursuits and unique experiences. 🤩

🤔 What is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral Palsy (CP) refers to a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, muscle tone, and motor skills. It results from damage to the infant brain, often occurring before, during, or shortly after birth. 🧠

☝️The type of CP is described by the way it affects a child’s movement (spastic, dyskenetic, ataxic, mixed), the part of the body that is affected (quadriplegia, diplegia, hemiplegia), and by how severe these affects are.

💡Did you know…
💭 Spastic Cerebral Palsy is one of the most common forms of CP, characterised by stiff muscles and jerky movements.
💭 It is a non-progressive condition - meaning the brain damage does not worsen over time. However, the physical effects can change as a person grows.
💭 It is estimated that every 1 in 700 children in Australia are born with CP

🤝 Management of Cerebral Palsy should take on a multi-disciplinary approach to ensure that all areas of care are addressed!

👐 Join us in raising awareness for World Cerebral Palsy Day as we advocate for inclusion, support, and empowerment for individuals with CP and their families!

🌈 It’s World Duchenne Awareness Day (WDAD) 2024!

On this day we wear red to raise awareness for individuals with Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy all around the globe. 🌍

This year, the theme is “Raise your voice for Duchenne” 🗣️. It’s all about creating a society that provides equal opportunities for everyone! 🤲

🧐 What is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)?
🧬 DMD is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene located in the X chromosome.
🧬 This gene is responsible for producing dystrophin, a protein crucial for muscle integrity.

💡 Did you know…
💭 1 in 5000 newborn boys in the world are affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
💭 This condition predominantly affects boys. This is because boys only have one single X chromosome. Girls can be carriers of this genetic error too, however usually experience mild symptoms only 😮
💭 DMD usually appears between ages 2 and 5. Early signs often include difficulty walking, frequent falls, and muscle weakness 👶
💭 Treatment for DMD has progressed significantly over the years, and research is continuously ongoing! Currently, treatment focuses on gene therapy, exon skipping, and medications that improve/preserve muscle function and slow down progression of the condition. 💊

💁‍♂️ Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) is a rarer form of DMD, and is less severe.

🙋 Let’s raise awareness, drive research, and support families affected by this condition.

🌈 Happy Speech Pathology Week! 🎉 🗣️

Join us this week as we thank and celebrate all our wonderful Speechies who make a massive difference in the lives of countless children and adults. 👏

🌈 Welcome to Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) month!

🌟 SMA has seen a remarkable shift in prognosis over the past few decades thanks to significant advances in research and increased awareness.

Advancements like gene therapies and new medications like Risdiplam are transforming the health outcomes of individuals living with SMA. This progress highlights the importance of continued research and awareness! 🗣️

🤩 Increased awareness and advances in research have led to…
⚪️ Improved genetic insight and understandings in regards to mutations of the SMN1 gene! This has paved the way for targeted treatments that address the root cause of the condition rather than just managing symptoms. 👏
⚪️ Early diagnosis: advances in genetic testing and newborn screenings have allowed for earlier diagnosis and intervention! 👶
⚪️ Gene therapy: gene therapy can now address the underlying causes of SMA by creating a functional copy of the SMN1 gene! 👨‍🔬
⚪️ New medications have provided a more convenient and accessible treatment option 💊
⚪️ Improved supportive care: research has also enhanced our understanding of supportive care strategies like respiratory support, physical therapy, and nutritional management for a better quality of life 💪

💡 Keep spreading SMA awareness to drive continued progress and research behind SMA treatment!
