🥤👩‍⚕️ Our 1st-year graduate students, under the guidance for Dr. Paramby, are diving into the world of dysphagia management with hands-on learning!

This week, they practiced how to:
🔹 Safely thicken liquids for patients with swallowing difficulties
🔹 Taste-test and compare different thickening agents
🔹 Explore how various liquids change with different consistencies

These real-world skills are essential to ensuring patient safety and quality of care for individuals with dysphagia. 💜

Learning by doing = preparation for the clinic and beyond! 🌟

💜 A huge thank you to Jess Gartman from Reach Therapy Services and Rick Anderson from iCAN for spending time with our 1st-year graduate students this week!

Their session on AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) gave our students valuable hands-on experience with a variety of high-tech devices and language platforms—eye gaze was definitely a favorite! 👀✨

We’re so grateful for community partners who share their expertise and help prepare our students to better serve future clients. 🌟

☕📚 Our students know that sometimes the best way to power through a study session is with a little caffeine boost!

From cozy corners to bright, bustling spots, they’ve been exploring the many coffee shops around Conway—and putting that extra jolt of energy to good use with some serious studying. ✨

Here’s to fueling both brains and books, one cup at a time! 💜

Today’s clinical orientation started with a challenge: enter the lecture room by dancing 💃🕺… or be ready to give a 5-minute lecture on ASHA’s Code of Ethics! 🎤📚

It was the perfect kickoff to our discussion on the clinical practicum experience—reminding students that while it requires focus and attention to detail, it can also be FUN when you’re willing to let loose and dance a little! ✨👟

⚽💪 Today we’re celebrating National Women’s Health & Fitness Day by spotlighting our incredible 1st- and 2nd-year graduate students—who put this day into action on the soccer pitch during intramurals!

Not only are they working hard in the classroom and clinic, but they’re also showing the importance of balance, teamwork, and fitness.

As Ted Lasso would say: “Believe in yourself. Believe in your team.” 💜

Here’s to our students for living out the spirit of health, wellness, and community—on and off the field! 🌟

👅✨ Say that five times fast… our NSSLHA undergrads sure can!

To learn about treatment strategies for speech-sound disorders, students practiced their elicitation techniques using tongue twisters—because what better way to master clear speech than a little challenge? 😅

And if you look closely… 👀 you’ll spot Dr. Gregg’s face on the cans they used during practice. Talk about motivation! 🎉

Way to go, NSSLHA—learning, laughing, and leading the way for future SLPs! 💜

If you are a speech-language pathologist working in the school setting, please consider sharing this survey with the elementary school teachers you know.

If you are an elementary school teacher, you are invited to complete a brief, anonymous survey. Your input is incredibly valuable and will help shape a better understanding of how SLPs and elementary educators can work together to support students with communication disorders. You can find the survey at the link below. It should take less than 10 minutes of your time.

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ Our 1st-year graduate clinicians are getting hands-on practice in one of the most important foundational skills for SLPs—hearing screenings!

This week, they learned how to:
🔹 Complete a pure tone hearing screen
🔹 Perform tympanometry
🔹 Safely and effectively use an otoscope

Why is this so important? According to the Arkansas EARS team, hearing screenings play a critical role in identifying concerns early—ensuring school-aged children don’t miss out on valuable classroom instruction due to undetected hearing difficulties. 👂📚

These experiences not only prepare our students for future clinical work but also reinforce the impact SLPs can have on children’s learning and success. 💜

🎉 Celebrating 10 Years! 🎉

Today we honor Mrs. Richelle Weese for her 10 years of dedication to the UCA Speech-Language Hearing Center! 💜🐻

Mrs. Weese not only provides our students with a welcoming office space and the best chocolates but also shares an incredible depth of knowledge and support for our clients—whether it’s TBI/Concussions, cognitive decline, voice disorders, or other adult-related needs.

We are so thankful for her commitment to UCA and to the future of our SLPs. Here’s to the impact she’s made over the last decade—and all that’s still to come! 🌟
