Laredo Stroke Support Group Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

Therapy therapies for stroke survivors (speech and physical) every stroke survivor's recovery and needs are unique, but most therapy falls into 3 main categories: speech, physical, and occupational. Our organization has partnered up with austin speech labs to bring affordable speech therapy to laredo. Our volunteers and office manager facilitate therapy sessions via skype, which allows us to decrease costs for the survivor while continuing to offer quality therapy. Austin speech labs: laredo branch (ran by lssg), provides intensive speech and language therapy with boot camp sessions. These sessions are 8 weeks long except the one in november (six or seven weeks due to holidays). Clients receive one to three hours of therapy each day, twice a week, depending on individual needs. The clinician decides the number of hours and days during evaluation. Physical therapy is near and dear to our founder's heart. He was an avid cyclist, runner, biker, and all-around athlete pre-stroke, and truly believes that his love for fitness is what has made his recovery gains successful. Our group advocates strongly for all survivors to develop healthy and active lifestyles to aid in their recovery process. Lssg currently pays art classes for members to attend virtual or in-person as a form of occupational therapy to work on fine motor skills and improve mental function. Tennis is offered every other week, in partnership with the laredo tennis association and the city of laredo parks. Our organization has purchased several forms of exercise equipment such as bicycle stabilizer wheels (for survivors to re-learn how to ride: similar to adult training wheels). Lssg also provides bi-weekly walking and biking classes allowing survivors to work on their physical abilities and balance. Aside from physical and speech therapy, we have taken an innovative approach to occupational therapy through art classes that help with fine motor skills and the mental well-being of stroke survivors.
