Another Great Article featuring Progressive Therapy Associates!! So proud of these ladies!!!
Question: When a speech therapist at an elementary school in a small town (probably demographics don't matter) is unkind to a family with challenges (not very thoughtful to the children she also knows well) and sends texts that are hurtful and judgmental if the whole family, and sends other texts hurtful .... She doesn't communicate AFTER thinking it through and seems challenged in how she texts (not recognizing how she is perceived), and behaviorally tries to demonstrate her own personal power or "popularity" amongst others, would these be traits considered conducive to her profession? I believe the answer is no, but I'm looking for others opinions who are in the field. How or what would be best to communicate? And the school?- I'm concerned mynew kindergartner next year will need speech therapy where she works. Ugh. She's not a good communicator and yet her profession is in communication. Help!! What can I also communicate with her? What specific points might've best for communicating to the school so it's received appropriately and addressed correctly? Thanks!!

A brain injury can be a:
🧠 Concussion
🧠 Stroke
🧠 Cardiac arrest causing anoxia
🧠 Traumatic brain injury
These are a few of the most common examples of brain injury. Know the signs, get help. If something seems not right, trust that instinct.

We really teach people functional skills that make life less difficult. ADHD coaching is one of the ways we do that. It is so rewarding to see the day to day be more rewarding and less frustrating! Most people know what they need to do and it is not an issue of knowing, but rather a problem with executive functioning; truly bridging the knowing and doing. We can help!~ Actually, we'd be honored to!

Free consultation is a good way to find out how we can help you or your loved one today! Start 2023 on a great note!

“Learning to inhibit is work.”

Yes it is, and so worth it! This individual notes that now that she can inhibit, this skill has allowed for better communication and notes, “This learned skill allowed my humor to surface again too.” If you can put on the brakes or pause as you need to…
This could:
👍🏻Help with relationships
👍🏻Improve Communication
👍🏻Help with Spending
👍🏻Impact Saying and doing things you regret

Inhibition, it’s just one of the many executive functioning skills that we treat at  Progressive Therapy Associates and coach on at ProADHD Coaching!

We commonly treat individuals with aphasia at our clinic and there is often a misunderstanding or disconnect; this is not a memory or intellect problem. People with aphasia know the things they’ve always known (words, people’s names, places,etc.), rather his or her ability to readily express verbally or in writing or comprehend language is where the breakdown is noted. Aphasia=broken language. Take a minute to listen to Gabby share some of her journey.

After becoming a victim of gun violence in 2011, Gabby Giffords was diagnosed with aphasia, a disorder of speech and language that affects many stroke and traumatic brain injury survivors.

Today, she is speaking out about her ongoing recovery and advocating for others living with this condition. Learn more about Giffords’ story via Brain & Life Magazine at: https://bit.ly/3OUOm7R

Happy Holidays, from all of us at Progressive Therapy Associates and ProADHD Coaching! 2022 has been a year of transition and great change starting with a move in January. It happened to be the coldest day of the year, but we landed on our feet at 825 28th St. South, Suite B, Fargo ND and we can’t say that it is any warmer in Fargo than West Fargo, but we are sure enjoying our new space!

We are thankful to continue to serve our wonderful patients and families in person and online with a variety of needs, including traumatic brain injury, concussion, stroke, ADHD, MS, and other cognitive-communication disorders.

Our extensive experience as SLP's, passion and additional training with the ADHD Rehabilitation Service Providers certification has led to our next change.

We are excited to launch an added branch of PTA, ProADHD Coaching! This will allow us to provide ADHD coaching to address executive functioning needs to adolescents and adults from the comfort of your home or office! If you want to see us in person, we continue to welcome that opportunity as well. Our new website has launched! www.proadhdcoaching.com

Thank you to all of you who chose us, and believe in our mission to improve functioning, empower individuals, and renew lives. Here’s to another year and we hope your new year is healthy, happy and a hope-filled 2023!

Frequently people we see at Progressive Therapy Associates and ProADHD Coaching will share the common and very real struggle with initiation (getting going), especially for non preferred tasks, but what about its “ugly step sister” INHIBITION (stopping or pausing)?!!?! Most of the time there isn’t just trouble with one. Being able to inhibit can really be a key skill and a lot of work. For instance, not swearing, not acting on frustration or avoiding complaining as you wait in line at Walmart is an example of inhibition. If you went to the store and bought only the things you needed and none of the other cool stuff…likely you can thank the executive functioning skill of glorious inhibition. A few common examples of inhibition that are helping in many ways are: 🛑Critical pause
🛑Stop and Think
🛑Applying brain breaks and sometimes a horizontal life pause/nap
🛑Calm your brain with deep breathing
If you are wondering how you could learn to apply inhibition skills, we’d be happy to help! Free Consultation is the first step! www.proadhdcoaching.com

This desk could tell a story or two…

As my husband and I disassembled my desk in preparation for a new fangled standing desk, I can’t help but swirl through the many people and memories.

There have been some developments that have taken place at this desk. If it could tell you stories…I can’t help, but think it would include at the top of the list the many amazing patients,clients, and families and interactions that took place right here. ❤️

Undoubtedly …
❤️It would tell the story of a man who could tell his family that he loved them again, following a stroke.

❤️It would tell the story of a woman with encephalitis that worked hard night and day to get her life back and returned with 1,000 homework sheets week after week.

❤️It would tell about the woman with post concussive syndrome that defied all the odds.

❤️It would tell about the person with ADHD who would say, “I’ll never be able to do THAT!” …and did.

❤️It would tell about my own children when they were little…drawing, coloring, and visiting across the desk while I did paperwork on weekends.

❤️It would tell about the many successes, planners used, homework done, strategies learned and words of support and education, including self drawn visuals to explain the brain and many other concepts, treatment approaches and home programming.

❤️It would tell about the many “meetings of the minds” with patients, parents, providers, my colleagues, friends, interns and CFY students and more. This included many treasured times and accomplishments.

❤️It would tell about the hugs. It would tell about the laughs, tears, and challenges faced and overcome.

Thank you for the time and enough stories to fill a heart and mind for a lifetime.

Forever grateful❤️

One more day!! Gratitude jar of winners is filling up! We can’t wait to go through these “gold nuggets” and also draw a winner from our November gratitude submissions! Thanks so much to those who participated thus far. Positive thoughts are one of the best pathways to positive behavior!

👍🏻This will serve to activate your prefrontal cortex. Gratitude can result in changes in thinking, mental productivity, and sparked attention and creativity.

🧠At Progressive Therapy Associates improved mental productivity is always a welcome change! Simplified science…executive functioning is all about necessary skill building and optimizing the distribution hub or the prefrontal cortex, increasing serotonin, activation, and dopamine.

😃We hope you have started some tiny habits of gratitude and those become life long. This talented group of SLPs would be happy to help you or your loved one.

The Curse of an Attitude of Gratitude | Living with Brain Injury | BrainLine

Attitude of gratitude doesn’t always shine. Sometimes “just not feeling it” is something everyone can relate to! This is some perspective from brainline.org on finding a balance and blending cursing with attitude or gratitude, whichever may seem most fitting. Anyone relate?

At Progressive, we realize everyone is at different stages in their life, treatment and his/her journey. We are here for you and will meet you where you are at. ❤️

www.progressivetherapyassociates

The Curse of an Attitude of Gratitude | Living with Brain Injury | BrainLine Thanksgiving is a uniquely American tradition that includes feasting and sharing all for which we are grateful. But this year, I’m just not feeling it. There’s too much weighing heavily on my mind.

We hope you have a fantastic week as we head into the holidays! Know that we are thankful for each of you! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Here are a few tips that we think can help you not only survive the holidays, but function at your best and not have any set backs.

Top 5:
1.) Your executive functioning skills will be at their best if you’re taking good care of yourself. Be consistent with sleep, hydration, brain breaks and exercise.
2.) Create a plan in writing to support your needs, to not only help recall, calm your mind, but also adequately pace your activities!
3.) Simplify wherever you can. Break tasks down into smaller chunks.
4.) Prioritize your needs! 5.) Have some fun too. Laughter is one of the best medicines!! 😁

NOW (2022) and THEN (2010).....At Progressive Therapy Associates, we are always especially thankful to see November come around! Progressive Therapy Associates opened 12 years ago! It is hard to believe, both seems like yesterday and a lifetime ago. The road of Jodi and Janet to our dream team pictured below has been full of adventure. Personally, I wouldn't change it for anything! It has been full to the brim, good days and great days, tough days and tougher days and we prevail. We are truly blessed to have great people providing excellent treatment, dedicated to top notch care, every time, and priceless successes for our patients and families all over North Dakota, Minnesota, and beyond.
