"Not every student will choose a career in dementia care, and that’s OK. The goal isn’t recruitment; it’s exposure.

Through these interactions, students can become advocates for those who need it most." - Sweet. To read the full article, click the link in bio or visit: https://buff.ly/N6hvkIq

Early SLP involvement in dementia care can help families navigate communication challenges and end-of-life decisions before urgent needs arise. 🗣️✅🫂
"SLPs sit at a unique intersection where we understand how communication changes across the disease course, we know what’s evidence-based in dysphagia and feeding management, and we often have the deepest ongoing relationships with both patients and families.

"Feeding challenges, whether they are a step in normal development or a sign of something deeper, often show up in the moment. A short message with a clear strategy can help caregivers respond with more confidence in real time. Just as importantly, the guidance offered can help caregivers understand what to expect in their child’s feeding skill development." -LaManna.
