Fun Fact February💙

Swallowing difficulties after a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) are more common than many realize. 💛 When swallowing is impaired, it can affect safety, nutrition, hydration, and overall recovery. That’s why early assessment and specialized intervention are essential. With the right support, individuals can regain safer, more efficient swallowing and improve quality of life.

💙 February Fun Fact

The early years lay the foundation for how children connect, learn, and express themselves.

That’s why early intervention matters. The sooner we support communication, the stronger the foundation for confidence, learning, and meaningful connection.

We’re here to help little voices grow big futures!

💙 February Fun Fact

It may seem simple, but swallowing is a highly coordinated and complex process.

When even a few of those muscles aren’t working together properly, it can lead to coughing, choking, difficulty managing certain textures, prolonged mealtimes, or challenges with growth and nutrition.

With so many muscles involved, feeding difficulties deserve thoughtful evaluation and targeted support.

We’re here to help make mealtimes safer, smoother, and more successful!

💙 February Fun Fact
Late talkers have 1.96x more severe or frequent tantrums than children with typical language skills.
It’s not “bad behavior”—it’s communication frustration. Speech therapy supports language development and gives children the tools they need to express themselves.

💬Fun Fact February:

6–8 million Americans experience language impairments—and that number simply shows how common communication challenges really are!

Speech therapy focuses on strengthening understanding, expression, and confidence in communication, helping everyday conversations feel easier and less frustrating. At RRS, we help address these challenges by targeting how language is understood and expressed for each individual!
