Have you ever paused mid-sentence trying to find the right word, only to have it pop into your head hours later? Or walked into a room and forgotten why? You’re not alone. As we age, some changes in thinking and communication are completely normal and usually no big deal.
Just like our eyesight may blur or our knees creak, the brain’s processing speed can slow down a bit too. You might find it takes a little longer to join a fast-paced conversation, or you need a moment to recall someone’s name. These hiccups are common and part of the brain’s natural aging process. While some changes in communication are normal, others may signal the need for extra support.
If you or someone you know is showing these signs, talk with your doctor about speech therapy. Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) target speech, memory, swallowing issues, and more. They provide tools and strategies to help you communicate clearly and keep you engaged and independent.
