AUGUST HEALTH SPOTLIGHT
Celebrating awareness & advocacy this month.
August centers around prevention, early intervention, and building lifelong wellness from infancy through adulthood. While not all topics are directly within the therapy scope, they intersect with the lives of our clients and communities. This month, we’re recognizing:
💉 National Immunization Awareness Month – emphasizing the importance of vaccinations across the lifespan to protect public health.
🤱 National Breastfeeding Month – supporting parents and caregivers in nourishing and bonding with their infants, while acknowledging the need for inclusive, informed care.
🧒 Children’s Eye Health & Safety Month – promoting vision screenings, protective eyewear, and awareness of visual needs in learning and play.
🩺 Psoriasis Awareness Month – increasing visibility for this chronic autoimmune condition that can impact both physical and emotional well-being.
🧠 Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month – shedding light on this rare neuromuscular condition and the importance of early diagnosis and therapeutic support.
Let’s continue to educate, empower, and advocate—because whole-person wellness starts with awareness.
To Every Speech Therapist: We See You
As Speech Therapy Month comes to a close, I just wanted to take a moment to remind SLPs and SLPAs that the work you do truly matters — even when it feels overlooked. Most people don’t realize how much life depends on communication until communication becomes difficult, which is exactly why speech therapy plays such an important role across every stage of life.
From helping patients reconnect after stroke, to supporting AAC communication, swallowing safety, cognition, and pediatric development, speech therapists do far more than most people realize. This blog is a reminder that your work is seen, appreciated, and genuinely life-changing — even in the small moments that often go unnoticed.
