Dear Friends
Dr. Bernard P. Henri, Executive Director
In this issue of Communication
Matters at CHSC, you will find
articles describing the many
ways the Center helps those
who have suffered strokes,
brain injuries, or nervous
system disease damaging
their abilities to communicate
effectively. I would like to share
the story of Edward, whose life-changing event brought
him to CHSC.
Edward was a 52 year-old energy company supervisor.
While he was shaving, his wife popped into their
bathroom to give him a kiss, saying, “I’ll see you
tonight” and off she went to work.
Returning around 6 p.m., Ed’s wife saw that her
husband’s car was already in the garage; he must have
gotten off work early, she thought. Upon entering their
bathroom, however, she found Ed sprawled on the floor,
partially lathered with shaving cream. He was breathing
with difficulty, unable to move or talk. He’d been lying
there since morning.

At the hospital, doctors informed Ed’s wife that her
husband had suffered a stroke to the left side of his
brain, paralyzing his right arm and leg and leaving him
without speech. While guarded, the doctors believed
that her husband would survive but, most likely, with
lasting deficits caused by the stroke.
With speech-language pathology services, the return of
Ed’s speech was slow and steady. He progressed, going
from speechless to having functional, but telegraphic,
speech, a halting pattern that includes the use of nouns
and verbs, but omits the articles and conjunctions. Our
professionals at CHSC can help create a comprehensive
treatment plan for stroke survivors like Ed, designed to help
achieve personal communication goals, from being able to
speak with family and friends to going back to work.
As always, the Board and I deeply appreciate your
continued interest in and support of Cleveland Hearing
& Speech Center. We are truly grateful. Thank you so
much!

CHSC Board of Directors Member Jim Forbes
Why Jim serves on the CHSC Board? My daughter Avery failed the newborn
hearing screening when she was two days old. Avery was initially fitted for hearing
aids at 5 months old. However, subsequent hearing tests showed that her hearing
loss was severe to profound in both ears. My wife Susan and I received services,
guidance, and support from the Regional Infant Hearing Program (RIHP). Cleveland
Hearing & Speech Center’s RIHP Outreach Specialist helped us learn more about
available options, including bilateral cochlear implants. Avery was successfully
implanted at 18 months of age. She is now six-years-old and has caught up to her
hearing peers. In addition, she has just completed kindergarten at a mainstream
public school. My wife and I know that early intervention and assistance from RIHP
were the keys to Avery’s success.

Doing Well by You and Doing Good for Others
By Michelle L. Burnett, Director of Clinical Services
M
any people are aware that Cleveland
Hearing & Speech Center offers free
hearing aids for individuals who cannot
otherwise afford them. However, did you
know that CHSC also offers many other free
services and outreach programs? CHSC
staff is dedicated to being your trusted
advisor and strives to educate all people in
the community about healthy hearing.
Audiologists at CHSC provide free
hearing screenings by appointment at
all office locations. In addition, local
businesses may partner with CHSC to
provide screenings onsite during the work
day. Most recently, CHSC audiologists
provided over 120 screenings at Thompson
Hine and Skoda Minotti. This easy screening
takes 10-15 minutes and typically provides
a quick assurance that hearing is normal.
If there is a concern, audiologists are able
to provide the best recommendations and
follow up. Please call us at 216-325-7570 if
we can provide this service to you or your
employees.
Each audiologist provides at least
one free educational seminar each
year. These seminars are open to the
public and designed simply to provide
information about healthy hearing, the
latest technology available, noise-induced
hearing loss, and other topics essential to
maintaining good hearing. Please join us
for these informative seminars!
Watch for a special event with Phonak
this fall. This will be held at CHSC offices
with a Phonak specialist joining our
audiologists to provide you with the most
up-to-date care and product information.

Learning in Groups

T
he “Third Grade Guarantee” approved by the Ohio Legislature
about two years ago established standards that are being
enforced starting this school year. While most think of reading
as something done with the eyes, learning to read is actually
very much an auditory activity that requires a solid foundation of
oral language skill to be established first. Children with speech
sound disorders and/or language deficits are at risk for reading
difficulties. CHSC Speech
Language Pathologists
(SLPs) have developed
tiered programming,
targeting key
milestones in
oral and written
language at
each grade level
to help children
from preKindergarten to
the third grade
be better
prepared to
www.chsc.org/cm
meet the new reading standards.
Cleveland Hearing & Speech Center is offering a new group
for pre-school aged children. The group will focus on helping
children 3-5 years old build language skills necessary for daily
communication and, ultimately, for learning and academic success.
Using play, songs, and social interaction, the clinicians work with
children in a fun, engaging way. Parents will be taught specific
strategies that support good listening, speaking, and early reading
skills, and be able to support their child’s learning.
CHSC has designed a group to help master production of certain
difficult speech sounds, like /r/ or /s/. Children will learn through
direct instruction and have the opportunity to learn from each
other though age-appropriate activities that encourage
carryover of the new skills into conversation. Tasks for
home practice will be provided to parents.

The students were challenged in the
respect that each person had a different
communication style. All campers who
participated use American Sign Language.
There was some variety in signs since the
students came from different educational
systems. It was a valuable educational
opportunity to meet others with their

Regional Infant Hearing Program
RIHP: A Winning Team
By Bridgid Whitford, Au.D., Project Director, Regional Infant Hearing Program
T
he Regional Infant Hearing Program
(RIHP) is much like a major league
baseball team. RIHP’s goal may not be to
win the World Series, but it is equally as
important: to help children with hearing
loss and to help their families flourish.
Like a baseball team, staff members all
play different positions. During “practices”
(team meetings), we discuss difficult cases
and share strategies drawing from areas
of individual expertise. Cleveland Hearing
& Speech Center is fortunate to have two
communication disorders majors, two
audiologists, a Deaf educator, a speech
language pathologist, and a nurse on the
RIHP team.
Families may only have one RIHP
professional entering their home but
he/she is armed with the knowledge of
entire team. For example, a RIHP client
was recently diagnosed with a syndrome
with which the RHIP professional was
not familiar. She sent a quick email and
within hours had information, handouts
and resources from her teammates who
had more experience with this particular
syndrome. Just as importantly, she was
also able to connect this family to another
family who had 3 children with the same
diagnosis.
The team approach benefits families
and expands the knowledgebase of the
professionals. Cleveland Hearing & Speech
Center is fortunate to have a winning RIHP
team!

his summer CHSC teamed with Char Grossman, yoga
specialist, to provide a uniquely adapted yoga program for
stroke survivors. Char had a stroke years ago and found yoga
to be beneficial to her recovery. She came to CHSC to guide
practice in yoga poses and stretches for stroke survivors and
their caregivers. She included a calming meditation at the
end of each session. Char demonstrated to caregivers how
moves could be adapted for survivors. Caregivers were also
able to participate in the class for themselves and benefitted
from some much needed stress relief. CHSC and the new
yogis appreciated Char’s insights and abilities and all saw
improvements in mobility in every session! Char offers yoga
classes at her studio through Yoga-Reach and you can find out
more about her practice here: http://yoga-reach.org/.

Communication MATTERS at CHSC 5
By Gerri Medoro, Development Associate
For over 40 years, Tom Batiuk has been
crafting his comic strip Funky Winkerbean
from an attic studio above the garage at his
home. Funky Winkerbean, distributed by
North America Syndicate is carried in over
400 newspapers worldwide thereby having
a reach far beyond quiet Medina, Ohio.
6
Communication MATTERS at CHSC atiuk is an Ohio native. He was born in Akron and
received his BFA and a teaching certificate from Kent
State University in 1969. To this day, he remains
personally and professionally engaged with the
University. An early collaboration with another Kent student when
they were both undergraduates still remains a rich professional
partnership today. Chuck Ayres and Tom Batiuk partner on the
Crankshaft comic strip – Ayres creating all artwork and Batiuk
providing direction, storyline, and dialogue.
In a creative work that spans over 4 decades, it is expected that
the format would change over the years. For almost 20 years,
Funky Winkerbean had an episodic and strictly humorous
format. Beginning around 1992, Batiuk transitioned to
covering modern life issues and topics and adopting a real
time format in which the characters aged and developed.
Some of the topics that Funky Winkerbean has covered
are – teen pregnancy, suicide, dating violence, censorship,
dyslexia, gun violence, steroid use, alcoholism, drunk
driving, same-sex couples, post traumatic stress disorder,
breast cancer, death, interracial marriage, and stroke.
Batiuk says that these topics “roll up on their own” and
that he “takes stuff from my life and create an internal
landscape” from which to draw.
One of his favorite storylines was the breast cancer
diagnosis of the Lisa character because of the way the story
was received and the impact it had. The character faced a
mastectomy and chemotherapy and for a period of time
was cancer free. The cancer returned, metastasized and
resulted ultimately in her death. In 2007, Batiuk published
the book Lisa’s Story: The Other Shoe. In addition to
being a collection of comic strips from the Lisa storyline,
the book includes resources on breast cancer detection,
treatment, and support. In 2008, Batiuk received a Pulitzer
nomination for Lisa’s Story.
Though the breast cancer and other topics are serious
and in some cases personal topics for many of his readers, his
change in format was well received by his audience. “There have
always been some that think my work should just be funny,” Batiuk

Facts about stroke:
Stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death in the United
States behind heart disease and cancer.
Over 160,000 Americans die from stroke each year.

disability in the United States
There are more than 7 million stroke survivors living
today in the United States and two-thirds of them are
disabled.
said, “But I have never walked away from the humor; now it is
more behavioral humor. It was a good change. My audience has
been generous in giving me the space to tell my stories.”
In recent months, Funky Winkerbean featured a storyline that
caught the attention of clinicians and clients of Cleveland Hearing
& Speech Center. A long-time character – Fred Fairgood –
suffered a stroke and has been challenged by his recovery. Fred’s
stroke was caused by a blood vessel blockage on the left side of
his brain which affected his speech and movement on the right
side of his body. When the areas of the brain that control speech
or language abilities are affected, impairments of understanding,
speech, reading and writing often occur. A loss of language
function following a stroke is known as aphasia.
Aphasia is only one of the results of stroke that stroke victims
may deal with. Some individuals may experience apraxia – an
inability to control the lips, tongue, and other parts of the speech
system dysarthria can also occur causing the speaker’s speech to
sound distorted.
If you have had a stroke and experience any of these signs,
ask your physician for a referral to a speech-language pathologist.
After a thorough evaluation, the clinician will be able to explain
your condition and recommend therapy, if necessary. Professionals
at Cleveland Hearing & Speech Center can create a comprehensive
treatment plan that is designed to help you achieve your personal
communication goals, from being able to speak with family and
friends to going back to work.
In addition, Speak Easy is an informal stroke survivor’s support
group that meets weekly at Cleveland Hearing & Speech Center.

have a stroke. About 610,000 of these are first or new
strokes. About 185,000 people who survive a stroke go
on to have another.
Strokes can occur at any age. Nearly one quarter of
strokes occur under the age of 65.
The risk of stroke more than doubles each decade after
the age of 55.
Up to 80% of strokes are preventable.

Dr. Dhairya Mehta
A Client
Success
Story
By Gerri Medoro, Development Associate
It
is challenging to deal with a stutter in one language – but
in three? Dr. Dhairya Mehta is Chief Resident of Internal
Medicine at Fairview Hospital. A native of India, he
speaks three languages: Hindi, Gujarati (a dialect), and English.
Despite his success with language, and his obvious academic
success, he has been challenged by stuttering (fluency disorder)
his entire life.
Mehta first exhibited stuttering at about age 6 but really became
self-aware of the issue at about age 16. He received intermittent
speech therapy but to no lasting success. Everything else in his
life was going well. And, he and his family “hid behind” his
other successes, ignoring the problem in hopes that he would
“grow out of it.”
However, Mehta’s stuttering became a larger problem when
after years of study to become a physician, the stuttering began
to stop him from “achieving what I wanted to achieve.” It was a
barrier to finding a residency position. The problem was causing
anxiety and understandably – frustration. “I know my potential
and not being able to achieve it was very frustrating.”
Dr. Mehta began therapy at Cleveland Hearing & Speech Center
with Senior Speech Language Pathologist Lauren Masuga.
The improvement in his condition that was evident after a few
months work allowed him to be hired in his current position.
“As a part of my job I need to talk to residents and attending
physicians. I have to give conference lectures. I do rounds with
patients and their families and I have to teach the residents at
the same time as I am talking to the family members. Especially
challenging when you have a stutter is talking to new people.
This position requires me to speak to new people in new
situations every day.”
“A lot of Dhairya’s success is due to his personal strength – his
follow-through and dedication to working on the process with
me and on his own,” said Lauren Masuga.
Dr. Mehta said “Lauren’s help is very critical in helping me
achieve what I have done so far. I could not drive my ship without
her guidance. I truly believe that my success can be attributed
to her.”
