World Stroke Day Celebration - October 29th from 11:30 to 1:30 PM at Austin Speech Labs

The World Stroke Day Celebration is a new event that will recognize the clients of Austin Speech Labs. It will take the place of our annual Year End Celebration. We invite all of our clients, families, caregivers, volunteers, supporters, and employees to come together in the Austin Speech Labs’ outside courtyard to recognize their struggles and successes over the year. There will be a photo booth, music and a delicious light lunch provided by Central Market.

The mission of World Stroke Day is to bring awareness around the world about strokes, how they can be prevented, and how to help someone receive care quickly if they show signs of a stroke. A stroke happens when blood flow in the brain is disrupted causing brain damage. Some effects of stroke can include paralysis, speech and language impairment, and visual problems. Many strokes are preventable by managing medical risk factors like blood pressure and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Getting treatment quickly can minimize the long-term effects of stroke. Visit www.stroke.org to learn more.
