Members of our multidisciplinary team joined forces to educate over 40 parents on all things autism in our latest in-service event titled “¿Qué es el Autismo?” (What is Autism?).

When welcomed inside, guests were asked to write compliments on the backs of those around them. Many were met with comments on topics they feel shame or discomfort in, while others see strength and beauty. Many studies suggest that we are more likely to remember negative experiences over positive ones, but there is great power found in positive thinking, praise, and words of affirmation. A different perspective can make all the difference in the world.

A key objective of our team’s presentation was to shift perspective on autism; utilizing strengths, abilities, and interests to pave the way to new beginnings. It featured powerful stories of hope, resilience, and many resources to meet the needs of both parent and child.

As healthcare professionals, we have a profound responsibility to ensure the well-being of those we serve. Putting our patients first not only guides our actions and decisions, but it provides opportunity to make lasting impacts on their lives. At Cole Health we are dedicated to providing the best care, always striving for improvement, and treating every patient with the care and respect they deserve.

Did you know that over 25% of parents and caregivers report that their children have troubled eating habits? Speech therapists play a critical role in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of those with feeding and swallowing disorders, but are often presented with limited knowledge on how patients react to certain foods.

With the help of our long-time collaborators at Professional Imaging, Cole Health is proud to bridge that gap for our patients! Their swallowing disorder consultations have brought tremendous help to our therapists and continue to bring hope and change lives throughout our communities.

Members of our team joined forces to present a CEU on all things autism for UT Health’s group of Texas Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW).

Our presenters were met with rave reviews, with the staff noting that they will be making use of the resources they received for current and future clients of theirs.

Cole Pediatric Therapy (Humble) has hosted multiple parent mixers this quarter.

Our team has created a popular safe space for parents to commune and receive resources readily available to them including respite care, transportation, and extracurricular activities.
