New Guide for Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Childhood apraxia of speech is a motor speech disorder that makes it challenging for children to plan and coordinate the precise movements needed for clear speech. Kids with this condition often know what they want to say but struggle to produce the words correctly, which can be frustrating for both them and their families.

To support those navigating this journey, a new guide has been created to offer helpful tips and strategies for families and practitioners alike. This resource aims to make understanding and managing childhood apraxia of speech a little easier, providing practical advice tailored specifically to meet the needs of young children working on their speech skills.

It’s the Heart That Really Does the Healing
Ora Ruggles reminds us that true healing goes beyond activity or technique. Engaging the hands may occupy the body, but it is connection, meaning, and compassion that engage the heart. When care reaches the emotional and human core of a person—acknowledging their fears, hopes, and sense of purpose—it awakens an inner strength that no task alone can provide. Healing, at its deepest level, is not something done to a patient, but something that grows within them when the heart is invited to participate.

Speak Easy Rehabilitation helps patients who need occupational, physical, and speech therapy. Give us a call today at 919.346.3350 to schedule a consultation today.

Perception vs Physiology: Assessing the Risk of Dysphagia in Patients With Parkinson’s Disease
This article explores the critical gap between patient perception and physiological reality in swallowing disorders associated with Parkinson’s disease, drawing from both clinical experience and research. Northwestern University's, Dr. Rabab Rangwala describes how dysphagia in Parkinson’s is often “silent,” with patients under-reporting difficulties despite clear signs of impairment observed by caregivers and instrumental assessments.

Research involving individuals with Parkinson’s disease confirms that patient self-ratings frequently fail to reflect the severity of swallowing dysfunction, in part due to sensory deficits, cognitive changes, disrupted breathing-swallowing coordination, and subtle compensatory behaviors. The article emphasizes that relying solely on either patient reports or objective data is insufficient; instead, effective dysphagia management requires integrating patient-reported outcomes, caregiver observations, and instrumental evaluations. By bridging perception and physiology through interdisciplinary collaboration and person-centered care, clinicians can better identify risk, prevent complications such as aspiration pneumonia, and preserve dignity, safety, and quality of life for individuals with Parkinson’s disease.

NC SLP Spotlighted as Medicaid Cuts Impact Practices
Recent Medicaid funding changes are putting pressure on speech-language pathologists, especially in North Carolina. After the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act shifted more Medicaid costs to states, North Carolina introduced reimbursement cuts of 3%–10% despite strong advocacy from ASHA and NCSHLA. Although Governor Josh Stein later reversed those cuts, the state still doesn’t have a budget and could face Medicaid funding issues this spring. Providers like private practice owner Stephanie Molina say the uncertainty and payment reductions make it harder to pay staff and keep services available, showing how federal policy changes are already affecting care at the community level.

5 CBT Techniques ABA Professionals Use to Change Lives—Here’s How They Work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a powerful, solution-focused approach that helps people break free from negative thinking patterns shaped by trauma, anxiety, addiction, and everyday stress. ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) professionals often rely on five essential CBT tools—cognitive journaling, guided discovery, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness and relaxation strategies, and exposure therapy—to help clients understand their thoughts, challenge harmful beliefs, and build healthier mental habits.

From tracking emotional triggers to safely confronting long-standing fears, these techniques empower individuals to take control of their inner experiences and create meaningful, lasting change. When combined, they form a transformative path toward resilience, clarity, and emotional balance. For those considering a career in ABA or mental health, mastering these CBT strategies opens the door to making a real and lasting impact in others’ lives.

Communication is a Right
The quote “Communication is a right, not a privilege” reminds us that every voice matters and deserves to be heard. When people are given the tools, respect, and space to express themselves, they gain the power to connect, advocate, grow, and contribute to the world around them. Ensuring access to communication is not an act of charity—it is an affirmation of dignity, equality, and human potential. Wherever communication is supported, communities become stronger, more inclusive, and more compassionate.

If you know someone who is struggling with a communication issue, contact Speak Easy Rehabilitation at 919.346.3350 to schedule a consultation today.

Congress Revives Telehealth: OT Services Get Retroactive Green Light Through 2026
Some positive healthcare news! Congress just revived Medicare’s telehealth waivers—after letting them lapse during a messy spending fight and 42-day shutdown—so occupational therapy can keep happening virtually through January 31, 2026, with retroactive reimbursement back to October 1. Providers can finally submit or resubmit held claims, though CMS still owes everyone clearer instructions. While this short-term fix is welcome, AOTA is pushing hard for a permanent solution, backing bipartisan bills like the Telehealth Modernization Act and other legislation that would lock in OTPs as long-term Medicare telehealth providers and avoid more last-minute policy whiplash.

Could AI Help Diagnose Speech Disorders?
Stanford researchers are exploring whether AI could help fill the huge gap in speech therapy services for kids, since there aren’t nearly enough speech-language pathologists to meet the need. Right now, the big-name language models — even advanced ones like GPT-4 and Whisper — aren’t very good at spotting speech disorders in children, but the study found that when some models were fine-tuned, their accuracy noticeably improved.

That means AI could eventually take over some of the time-consuming parts of the job, like screening kids, transcribing speech, or tracking progress, which would free up therapists to spend more one-on-one time with students. The catch? The models still have accuracy issues, show bias (better with boys than girls, English over other languages, older kids over younger), and require tons of real-world speech data that’s hard to collect because of privacy laws. Even with those challenges, the researchers say the results are encouraging — not because AI is ready to replace SLPs, but because it might finally become a useful tool alongside them.
