Communication supports participation in education, employment, healthcare decisions, and social relationships.

Speech language pathologists evaluate how people understand information, express ideas, produce speech, use their voice, and coordinate swallowing. These abilities influence how individuals interact with others and manage daily responsibilities.

Speech therapy provides evaluation and treatment for communication and swallowing across the lifespan.

A comprehensive speech evaluation may assess:
• Articulation and speech clarity during conversation
• Receptive and expressive language abilities
• Social communication skills used in interaction
• Cognitive communication abilities such as memory and organization
• Voice quality and breath support during speaking
• Swallowing coordination and safety during eating and drinking
• Need for augmentative and alternative communication systems

Why this matters:
Access to effective communication supports participation in school, work, healthcare decisions, and community life. Understanding the full scope of speech therapy services helps ensure timely referral and coordinated care between providers.

Practical everyday considerations:
• Face the listener directly during conversations
• Allow time for responses during discussion
• Reduce background noise when sharing important information
• Use written reminders or visual supports when helpful
• Encourage clear communication in medical or educational settings

Strong communication supports confident participation in daily life. In which settings do you rely on communication the most?

We loved having the Medical Careers class from Fosston High School visit Pine Peak today!

Students got a look at the different therapy services we provide and had the chance to try some hands-on activities focused on:
• sensory regulation
• fine motor skills
• problem solving
• cognition
• visual motor skills

One of the best parts of healthcare is seeing how many different ways there are to help people improve daily life, independence, and overall function.

Thanks for spending part of your day with us! 😄

“Not today, knees.”

A sentence muttered by:
• parents getting off the floor
• athletes after leg day
• grandparents using the handrail
• ..pretty much everyone at some point

Knee pain is one of the most common issues we see across all ages.

And while it can feel like “just getting older,” pain is often connected to things like muscle weakness, limited mobility, balance deficits, overuse, or movement patterns.

Your knees absorb force all day long, but they depend heavily on the hips, ankles, muscles, and surrounding joints for support.

Physical therapy often looks beyond the knee itself — focusing on strength, mobility, stability, and movement as a whole. Because avoiding stairs forever probably is not the long-term plan. 😉

Ever say something, but it gets taken completely differently than you meant it? A single word can change meaning based on tone, volume, pacing, facial expression, context, and understanding.

“Okay.” Can sound excited, frustrated, nervous, sarcastic, confident, unsure, or completely defeated.

Communication is layered.
Speech therapy helps children build the skills behind those layers:
• Understanding language
• Expressing thoughts clearly
• Social communication
• Speech sounds
• Voice and fluency
• Confidence in conversation

Sometimes it's not the word itself.
It is helping others understand the meaning behind it.

It’s Speech Therapy Month 💛

Speech therapy supports people of all ages in communicating, understanding, and connecting with others.

For kids, that might look like:
• Saying sounds and words more clearly
• Understanding and following directions
• Building vocabulary and sentence skills
• Social communication and interaction

For adults, it can include:
• Recovering speech after stroke or injury
• Improving voice strength and clarity
• Support with memory, thinking, and communication
• Swallowing and safe eating

Across every stage of life, the goal is the same: helping people communicate and participate more fully in daily life.

This month, we’re focusing on speech therapy and the many ways it supports everyday communication and connection.

Follow along as we share more and highlight the work our speech therapist does in the community!

Wrist pain can build up over time with computer use.
It could be from how your wrists are positioned throughout the day.

You might notice:
• Aching in the wrist during or after typing
• Stiffness with movement or typing
• Wrist or finger discomfort after longer periods of use

What may help early:
• Keeping your wrists in a more neutral (straight) position
• Adjusting your setup so you’re not reaching up to your keyboard
• Letting your arms and forearms support more of the work

If it keeps coming back or interferes with your workday, our hand therapist, Ashlee, can help take a closer look.

Is this something you’ve noticed during your day?
