Community Education Forums


Community Education Forums (CEFs) are back! We will offer three sessions on different topics in 2024. 

With our CEFs, HSC provides a forum wherein individuals, their carers and families can meet to learn about the most recent updates in HD, network with community members and perhaps most importantly, have the opportunity to have their questions answered by leading professionals who specialize in HD. These online webinars are free, and you will require an internet connection and a device with speakers to attend. We recommend a computer for the best viewing experience, but phones and tablets will also work. 

CEF #1: Speech Language Pathology and Huntington disease
Saturday April 13 at 1:30 p.m. EDT.

Speech Language Pathology and HD Session Summary: Did you know that HD can change our ability to communicate and swallow? SLPs play a crucial role in managing and treating these changes at all stages of the disease. Jasmine will discuss signs and symptoms and what you can do about them. This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who wants to learn about: 

  • Swallowing safety and red flags
  • Speech and voice changes and treatment options
  • Cognitive-communication difficulties and management strategies
  • Saliva challenges, including drooling and dry mouth
  • Answers to your questions 

About Jasmine: Jasmine helped create British Columbia’s first full-time public SLP program for people with neurological movement disorders. This program is located at the Victoria Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Clinic, which is a specialized neurology clinic. Jasmine is also the founder of SpeakSTRONG, a private SLP clinic designed specifically for people living with movement disorders. 

We hope to see you on Sat. April 13. If you have any questions, please contact Tianna O’Reilly at toreilly@huntin​gtonsociety.ca
