    Hope Katz, 67

    Hope’s goal in therapy was to speak louder and clearer with friends and family. With a lot of hard work, she began to think outside of the everyday, becoming more confident in her ability to communicate loudly and clearly. When Hope volunteered to give a toast at a friend’s birthday party, she wrote the speech, and we practiced using strategies for improved volume and intelligibility. She gave her toast in a crowded room without a microphone, and she did GREAT! She told me she received a lot of positive feedback about being heard and understood. She says her success speaking in public has motivated her to be more engaged in conversation, no matter the setting!

    Patrick McMenamin, 93

    Patrick experienced a stroke that resulted in right-sided weakness in his arm and leg, as well as difficulty with transfers, mobility, swallowing, and speech. After months of intensive rehabilitation, he has made significant progress. Patrick regained function in his right hand, allowing him to eat, dress, and play Bingo more independently. He also built notable strength in his right leg and progressed to taking steps with a walker. Patrick achieved several important goals, including eating safely, telling stories about his experiences in Ireland and El Salvador, and recalling his fellow residents' names. He is proud to return to the activities he loves most and continues to work hard toward achieving all of his goals.
