🧠 June is Brain Injury Awareness Month.
Swallowing isn’t something most people think about… until it becomes hard.
Brain injuries can make that happen - but SLPs are here to help. 💡
We’re shining the spotlight on Diana this week, a passionate Honours Life Sciences IV student and valued Research Assistant at the ASRL! ! 🌟 Whether she’s prepping stimuli or supporting patients, her work helps push swallowing research forward.
Sponsor Spotlight: Nestlé Health Science
We’re excited to welcome Nestlé Health Science as the Presenting Sponsor for Mealtime Matters: Eating Well Through Life’s Changes!
