“Spraaktherapie kan mensen met Huntington helpen”

Nieuws - Vereniging van Huntington

Tijdens de jaarlijkse bijeenkomst van de Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) werd duidelijk dat spraaktherapie een belangrijke rol kan spelen voor mensen met de ziekte van Huntington. Door gerichte oefeningen en strategieën kunnen patiënten slikproblemen verminderen, beter communiceren en leren omgaan met geheugen- en concentratieproblemen.

De boodschap kwam van Becky Gerig, spraak-taalpatholoog verbonden aan het HDSA Center of Excellence van de Indiana University. Tijdens haar interactieve lezing op het veertigste HDSA-congres (in juni van dit jaar in Indianapolis) benadrukte zij dat spraaktherapie veel meer is dan werken aan spraak: het kan mensen met de ziekte van Huntington helpen bij drie belangrijke uitdagingen: slikproblemen (dysfagie), spraakproblemen (dysartrie) en cognitieve achteruitgang.

My cellphone has an app that shows me photos from years gone by. Memories for each day. Today's memories were a run of a lifetime with my husband, Nathan. Glimpses from dating through wedding, birth of our child, to now. When I say this, don’t take it wrong. I love my husband. But I sure miss the man I began dating, fell for, and married. I miss the walks, just being together, living life without having to always think of solutions before the problems. Most people can say similar things due...

De onzichtbare strijd van aanwezig zijn met de ziekte van Huntington

Nieuws - Vereniging van Huntington

Vertaling van het artikel "The invisible battle of staying present with Huntington's disease" door Tanita Allen, gepubliceerd op Huntington's Disease News.

Tanita Allen leeft met de ziekte van Huntington en schrijft openhartig over wat het betekent om deel te nemen aan het dagelijks leven. In onderstaand stuk beschrijft ze een kant van de ziekte die zelden zichtbaar is voor buitenstaanders: de enorme mentale en fysieke inspanning die het kost om simpelweg aanwezig te zijn in de wereld. Haar woorden raken aan iets universeels (de behoefte om erbij te horen) maar laten ook zien hoe anders die ervaring is als je lichaam en geest voortdurend extra werk verzetten.
