A major study suggests that some of the groundwork for brain development may be shaped before birth through a surprising partnership between a baby’s genes and gut microbes. Researchers found that epigenetic changes present at birth can influence how the gut microbiome develops during the first year of life, and certain combinations were linked to early signs of autism and ADHD by age three.

June is National Aphasia Awareness Month 💜

Aphasia is a communication disorder that affects a person's ability to speak, understand language, read, and write. It is most often caused by a stroke or brain injury and impacts millions of individuals and their families.

This month, we recognize the strength and resilience of those living with aphasia and celebrate the Speech-Language Pathologists who help individuals regain communication skills and reconnect with the world around them.

At Ridge Zeller Therapy, we are committed to raising awareness, promoting understanding, and supporting effective communication for all. Together, we can help create more inclusive communities where every voice is valued.

On Saturday, Ridge Zeller Therapy had the opportunity to participate in the CHILL ACT Neurodiverse & Homeschool Resource Expo!

We loved connecting with families and sharing therapist-approved tools and resources to support focus, regulation, and everyday success, along with free sensory regulation toys for kids to take home.

Parents also had the chance to meet Dr. Katherine Stoll, our Licensed Psychologist, to learn more about the evaluation process and current openings for evaluations for Autism, ADHD, and Learning Disabilities.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to chat, ask questions, and share your stories. It was wonderful meeting so many amazing families and discussing how we can support your children and teens on their journey!
