It is our great privilege to introduce you to Michelle Clemens, who has been a dedicated member of the NUCASLL team since 2018. Today, on her stroke anniversary, Michelle celebrates what she calls her "new birthday," a day that marks her extraordinary journey of resilience and recovery.

On Instagram:

May is Stroke Awareness Month, and I’m honored to share a little of my journey.

My name is Michelle Clemens, author of “Determined”, motivational speaker, and stroke survivor.

I was a healthy 25-year-old, an Emmy-nominated TV news reporter who loved to run, travel, and bake cupcakes. My world turned upside down when I suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm resulting in a stroke, an event that changed everything in an instant. A marathon runner and storyteller at heart, I fought my way back with faith determination, and grace, transforming my journey into one of healing, hope, and inspiration.

Since my stroke, I’ve worked hard every day on recovery through NUCASLL speech therapy, perseverance and faith, I have aphasia and apraxia. Recovery is not easy, but progress is possible, and I hope my story encourages others facing challenges to never give up hope. I am so grateful for NUCASLL.

If you’d like to learn more about my journey, my book “Determined” is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books.

Clinical care is strongest when it is built on both research and real-world experience.

By bringing together research, education, and clinical practice, care becomes more thoughtful, informed, and personalized to each individual.

This integrated approach allows for a deeper understanding of communication needs and supports more effective outcomes over time.

It is not just about treatment. It is about understanding the full picture.

Meet Stephanie Boron, a clinician specializing in neurodiversity-affirming care.

Her journey into the field began with a personal realization. Small talk never felt natural. Years later, understanding her own neurodivergence helped shape her clinical perspective and approach to care.

Today, Stephanie supports neurodivergent children in understanding their communication styles, building self-awareness, and feeling confident in how they express themselves.

Her expertise was recently highlighted in a featured podcast, where she discusses creating neurodivergent-affirming spaces within speech-language pathology and beyond.

At NUCASLL, we believe communication is not one-size-fits-all. Every individual deserves to be understood on their own terms.

Hearing loss is not always sudden. In many cases, it happens gradually over time.

This can make it difficult to recognize at first. Small changes, like asking others to repeat themselves more often or having trouble following conversations in noisy settings, are often easy to overlook.

Being aware of these early signs is important. Identifying changes sooner can help guide the next steps and support better outcomes.

Hearing is more than just detecting sound. It is about how the brain processes what we hear in real-world environments.

These spaces are designed to simulate more complex listening conditions, helping clinicians better understand how individuals hear in situations like background noise or group conversations.

This type of evaluation allows for a more complete picture of hearing and communication needs.

If you have noticed difficulty hearing in certain environments or feel like something has changed, it may be time to explore further.

Our team is here to help guide you through the process.

“I was told I’d be paid to talk, and that sounded pretty great.”

For Leigh Cohen, that introduction to the field quickly grew into a deeper purpose.

Working across pediatric and adult populations in neurological rehabilitation, she sees every day how communication shapes connection, understanding, and quality of life.

This is what drives the work.

Your role in this journey is essential.

Progress is built through partnership, trust, and consistency. The care and attention you bring make a meaningful impact every day.

Happy Mother’s Day.
