🌟 June is Aphasia Awareness Month! 🌟 As a dedicated speech pathologist with a private practice, I am passionate about raising awareness for aphasia and supporting those affected by this often misunderstood condition. Aphasia is a communication disorder that results from damage to parts of the brain that are responsible for language. It can impact speaking, understanding, reading, and writing, making everyday communication a significant challenge. Why is raising awareness so crucial? Understanding and Empathy: Increasing public knowledge about aphasia fosters empathy and understanding. People with aphasia often face social isolation due to communication barriers. By educating our communities, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment. Advocacy and Support: Awareness initiatives empower advocacy efforts. By raising our voices, we can influence policy changes, increase funding for research, and improve access to resources and support services for those living with aphasia. Empowering Individuals and Families: Knowledge is power. When individuals and families understand aphasia, they are better equipped to manage the condition and utilize effective communication strategies to improve quality of life. This Aphasia Awareness Month, let's work together to spread the word, break down the stigma, and support those impacted by aphasia. Share information, engage in conversations, and join the movement to create a more understanding and inclusive world for everyone affected by aphasia. I am currently accepting new referrals and am here to provide support, therapy, and hope to those in need. If you or someone you know could benefit from speech therapy services, please don't hesitate to reach out. Let's make a difference together! 💬🧠❤️ #AphasiaAwarenessMonth #SpeechTherapy #CommunicationMatters #RaiseAwareness #SupportAndEmpower #SpeechPathology

This May, let's raise awareness and support for those affected by this devastating disease by going grey in May. Grey, symbolic of the grey matter in our brains, represents the fight against brain cancer. It's crucial to be aware of the symptoms of brain cancer, including persistent headaches, seizures, changes in speech or vision, and unexplained nausea or vomiting. Early detection and intervention can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes and quality of life for patients. As a speech-language pathologist at Jones Speech Pathology, I've seen first-hand the impact that brain cancer can have on communication and cognitive function. That's why I'm passionate about spreading awareness and providing support to individuals and families affected by brain cancer. Join me in going grey this May to show solidarity with brain cancer patients and their loved ones. Together, we can raise awareness, support research efforts, and improve outcomes for those battling this challenging disease. If you or a loved one are experiencing communication difficulties due to brain cancer or other neurological conditions, don't hesitate to reach out to Jones Speech Pathology for personalised and compassionate care. Together, we can navigate the challenges and work towards achieving optimal communication and quality of life. #BrainCancerAwareness #GoGreyInMay #JonesSpeechPathology #SupportAndAwareness

I made a comment on a Tiktok, "Reb for the rebrand" (love her) posted about how her sister is studying to be a Speech Pathologist and how a guy who was trying to pick her up assumed that meant she was training to read lips. 💀 My comment (it was hyperbole, don't take it seriously) was 'as a speech pathologist, honestly doctors don't know what we do.' The amount of speech pathologists commenting their frustration on the lack of knowledge about our profession breaks my heart a little! It's truly a shame that the incredible work of Speech Pathologists often goes unnoticed! So for those who would like to know more: Here's a Glimpse: 🧠 1.
