Look at what CUW SLP did on our summer vacation! ❤️

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is a blend of electronic devices and low-tech options, like picture boards and sign language, which are used to assist individuals with speech and language impairments.

Speaking for Themselves:

On August 13, the Concordia Speech, Language, and Hearing Clinic’s adult clients with neurological communication disorders gathered to share reflections on their progress over the summer semester. Therapy sessions were led by graduate student clinicians and supervised by the Department of Speech-Language Pathology’s Clinical Instructor Ann Kukowski, with the goal of improving clients’ language capabilities. Family members, faculty, staff, and students were invited to this spirited gathering to hear firsthand from clients about progress, challenges, and plans for the future.

It was a remarkably moving experience punctuated by laughter and tears. Patricia noted about her student clinician, Sydney, “She makes me read all of the time! But, you got to do it.” Arizanah reported that therapy is helping her work on her memory and sharpening her skills to take the GED exam.

These courageous clients also shared insights about how others can effectively communicate with them. Tony said, “You should know that I can understand everything, but people need to be patient when I speak.” Becki mentioned, “I understand best when information is written down.”

It’s clear that these individuals have bonded over their common goal of improving their ability to communicate and advocate for themselves. What’s uncommon, is the deep affection they have for each other and their student clinicians!

Today, Dr. Cindy Lund had the privilege of speaking to Birth–3 providers from across Wisconsin as part of the Pop Ups! Live Presentation Series hosted by Early Intervention in Wisconsin (EIWI).

Her talk, “The Truth About Tongue Tie: Myths and Evidence,” sparked meaningful conversation and helped clarify common misconceptions with research-backed insights.

Thank you to everyone who joined live—and to EIWI for creating space for these important discussions.

Unlock Your Value With Data: Did you know that multidisciplinary care involving SLPs can have a profound impact on health-related outcomes, like G-tube placement, in children with feeding and swallowing disorders? Research shows that treatments involving an SLP reduce G-tube dependency in 22%-90% of children, with an average cost savings of $40,000-$365,000 per child.

This National Month, download ASHA’s Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing Disorders Fact Sheet to learn more. Share with families, administrators, payers, and other health professionals to show the value that SLPs bring to the table. https://at.asha.org/Gn
