Speech therapy supports communication across the lifespan.

Services address how individuals speak, understand language, organize thoughts, and safely swallow. For adults, care may support aphasia after stroke, voice changes, cognitive communication challenges, and swallowing concerns related to health or aging.

Strong communication plays a critical role in independence, participation, and quality of life. Collaborative, research informed care allows for deeper evaluation and thoughtful treatment planning tailored to individual needs. https://nucasll.northwestern.edu/

Karen Kinderman is a speech-language pathologist whose clinical and teaching work centers on adults with acquired neurogenic communication disorders, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, and progressive neurological disease. Her focus is on supporting functional communication after changes to brain health.

A Northwestern alumna, she discovered her interest in cognitive communication disorders during graduate training and has since returned to teach in that same area. Her role bridges clinical practice and education, translating real-world experience into meaningful training for future professionals.

In honor of World Speech Day, we’re proud to spotlight Catherine Apt, a student clinician in Northwestern’s Speech-Language Pathology program, sharing how SLPs support confident, effective communication across the lifespan.

From strengthening breath control for vocal endurance to refining tone and organizing clear, intentional messages, speech-language pathologists help individuals communicate with confidence in academic, professional, and public settings.

Our student clinicians work alongside expert faculty to provide thoughtful, personalized, research-informed care because communication is a universal human right.

Happy World Speech Day! 💜

If you’ve seen the “come to my cottage” trend… you already know.

At NUCASLL, our students and clinicians take hearing care seriously…but we’re not afraid to have a little fun along the way.

Communication takes many forms, and spoken language is only one of them.

Augmentative and alternative communication systems support individuals in expressing preferences, emotions, and needs when speech is limited or unavailable. These tools are selected and implemented thoughtfully to promote independence, participation, and meaningful interaction.

Supporting communication access is an essential part of inclusive, evidence based care. https://nucasll.northwestern.edu/

More than 1.5 billion people worldwide are living with hearing loss, and by 2050, over 700 million people will require treatment.

Hearing loss does not just affect what we hear. It can impact communication, emotional well-being, cognition, and increase the risk of social isolation and depression. Even more concerning, nearly 17% of U.S. teens show signs of noise-induced hearing loss. Just one traumatic sound, like a firework going off too close, can cause permanent damage.

While hearing loss cannot yet be cured, it can be treated and prevented.

✔️ Avoid prolonged exposure to loud environments
✔️ Monitor your volume levels
✔️ Wear hearing protection
✔️ Schedule a hearing evaluation with an audiologist

This , take a moment to protect one of your most vital connections to the world. Your hearing health matters at every age.
