Need a brain reset between tasks? Try this ✨simple self-regulation technique✨:

➡️ Inhale as you raise your arms

➡️ Hold for 4 seconds

➡️ Exhale as you lower your arms

➡️ Repeat 3 times

This rhythmic movement promotes calmness, focus, and readiness for tasks that involve language, memory, or social interaction.

âś… Great for neurodivergent adults and those recovering from TBI or stroke.

âś… Can be done seated, standing, or with caregiver support.

🧠💬 Movement isn’t just good for your body—it helps your brain, too.

Mental health professionals treat emotional distress.

Speech therapists help with the communication that surrounds it.

If you’re a neurodivergent adult struggling with:
- Expressing emotions
- Word-finding under stress
- Misunderstood tone or social cues …speech therapy might be the missing piece.

Therapy isn’t “either/or.” It can be a collaborative approach.

Sometimes, the hardest thing is asking for help, especially when communication doesn’t come easily. Whether it’s word-finding, anxiety, or not knowing how to start the conversation, you’re not alone.

Speech therapy can support you in building the skills and confidence to express what you need.

Navigating the healthcare system can be overwhelming, but self-advocacy is key! Here are some common challenges and practical solutions to help you speak up with confidence:

đźš§ Challenges You May Face:
❌ Feeling dismissed or rushed by providers
❌ Struggling to understand medical jargon
❌ Forgetting important details or next steps
❌ Difficulty requesting accommodations

âś… Solutions to Overcome Them:
đź“‹ Prepare Ahead: Write down symptoms, questions, and concerns before the appointment.
🗣️ Clarify & Repeat: Ask for explanations in plain language and repeat key info to confirm understanding.
⏳ Advocate for Time: If the appointment feels rushed, ask for a follow-up or additional time.
👥 Bring Support: A friend, family member, or advocate can help reinforce key points.
📄 Request Accommodations: Whether it’s extra processing time, written instructions, or assistive communication tools—your needs matter!

Being an advocate isn’t always easy, but it leads to better care and outcomes. You deserve to be heard! 💙
