Beat the Heat: Fall and Dehydration Prevention!

☀️ August Tip of the Week: Beat the Heat, Stay on Your Feet! 🧊👣

Did you know that dehydration can sneak up on you and actually increase your risk of falls — especially in hot weather? 😰💦

Here are 3 quick ways to stay cool AND stay safe this August:
✅ Sip water throughout the day (add lemon or berries for a fun twist!)
✅ Wear lightweight, non-slip shoes — sandals can be slippery!
✅ Avoid walking outdoors between 11 AM and 3 PM — it’s the hottest time!

What’s your go-to summer drink or cool-down trick? Drop it in the comments ⬇️ and help others stay safe this season!

🧠Speech Therapy isn't Just for Kids!

Many people associate speech therapy with children learning to articulate specific sounds. However, the reality is that Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) work with adults facing a wide range of communication challenges.

Did you know?
✨Adults may seek speech therapy for various reasons, including stroke recovery, brain injury rehabilitation, managing neurodegenerative conditions (like Parkinson's disease or ALS), addressing voice disorders, or overcoming stuttering.
✨Speech therapy for adults can involve more than just speech sounds! It can address areas like:
💫Cognitive Communication: Improving memory, problem-solving, pricesaing speed, safety, and attention.
💫Language Skills: Enhancing understanding and expression of language (e.g., following a conversation or finding the right words).
💫Social Communication: Building confidence in social interactions, interpreting social cues, and engaging in conversations. This can be very hard when trying to find your new “normal”.
💫Swallowing Difficulties (Dysphagia): Improving safety and comfort during eating and drinking.
💫Voice Disorders: Addressing concerns about vocal quality, pitch, intelligibility, or volume.

The benefits extend beyond communication.

✨Adult speech therapy can significantly improve quality of life, fostering independence, confidence, and deeper social connections. It can also help individuals achieve professional goals and participate more fully in their daily lives.

It's never too late to improve communication skills and reclaim confidence!

Do you know someone who might benefit from adult speech therapy?

✨Did you know? Many people benefit from speech therapy even months or years after their brain injury—it's never "too late" to improve function.
✨Tip: Rebuild independence gradually. Start with one task a day, like managing your medications or writing down your goals. Learn and establish new adaptations and compensations.
