It’s Time to Say Thanks to Speech-Language Pathologists 09 April 13 01:54 PM postedby ADVANCE

With Better Hearing & Speech Month on the horizon, it’s time once again for the medical world to say thanks and pay respect to audiologists, speech therapists and, of course, speech-language pathologists.

 

Although speech-language pathology is a popular profession, there are many things about it that are not widely known to the rest of the healthcare community. For instance, did you know that more than 50% of speech-language pathologists practice their profession in school settings?  Unlike many healthcare professionals, most SLPs assist their patients in more natural environments as opposed to clinical settings. Along with other types of therapists, SLPs serve on special education teams that are assigned to schools and school districts to evaluate and test children for various language/speech disorders. After determining if students are candidates for therapy, SLPs plan goals that can be achieved through therapy sessions.

 

Since so many SLPs work with children, it makes sense to choose Better Hearing and Speech Month gifts that are focused on kid-friendly themes. Many of the speech-language pathologist products and speech therapist gifts exclusively available at ADVANCE Healthcare Shop make brilliant use of colorful images, motivational slogans and smile-inducing designs that can put young patients’ apprehensions at ease.  

 

 

Ladies “We Have Ways of Making You Talk! – SLP” Long Sleeve Tee

Made from cotton/spandex stretch fabric for comfort and movement, this long sleeve t-shirt features a scoop neckline, rib knit construction and our popular “We Have Ways of Making You Talk! – Speech-Language Pathology” artwork. Perfect for layering.

“Speech-Language Pathology” Stickers – Set of 60

Make the fine work that speech-language pathologists and speech-language pathology assistants perform every day the talk of the town. Fun set features an assortment of colorful stickers incorporating our “Speech-Language Pathology – We Have Ways of Making You Talk” slogan. Use them to reward children for their achievements, attach them to correspondence or add them to IDs and uniforms for an extra bit of fun. 

 

SLP Sticker Gifts 

 

“Party Like an SLP” Eco-Friendly Balloons  

Made from 100% biodegradable natural latex, this pack of 25 multi-color balloons is the eco-conscious way to celebrate Better Hearing & Speech Month or decorate your department/classroom for any special occasion.

Show Your Support for Autism Awareness Month! 13 March 13 10:32 AM postedby ADVANCE

Did you know that autism spectrum disorders are more common than previously believed? According to the Autism Society, one in every eight-eight children is identified with an autism spectrum disorder. One of the reasons that the number of children and adults diagnosed with autism has increased over the past several is due to increased public vigilance. And one of the chief contributing factors to increased public vigilance is National Autism Awareness Month.

 

Since its inception in the 1970s, National Autism Awareness Month has effectively educated the public about autism, while addressing specific subjects in the autism community. It’s also been identified as a significant factor in diminishing the stigma of autism and making it more acceptable for society to see the potential in autistic children and adults. This shift in understanding and vigilance has been greatly bolstered by the prevalence of one simple, yet significant symbol – the autism awareness ribbon.

 

From its earliest days, ADVANCE Healthcare Shop has encouraged autism awareness via exclusive and uncommon autism awareness gifts and products. From t-shirts and shoes to posters and stickers, our collection of autism awareness gifts helps promote understanding and acceptance via their inspirational messages and autism ribbon/puzzle piece graphics.  Below you’ll find a sampling of new and bestselling autism awareness items.

Showcase your support for autism awareness with this vibrantly colored puzzle-piece ribbon pin. With its tack pin attachment it’s easy to fasten and remove—and it fits just about anywhere. Pin it on and go!

Made from fiberglass-reinforced plastic, each tag features UV-resistant coating, rounded corners, and a flexible plastic loop that attaches to suitcases, briefcases, carry-ons, handbags or backpacks. Best of all, each tag showcases our original “Multi Awareness Ribbon” graphic on the front and includes room for personalization of a name and contact number on the back.

Ladies “Speech-Language Pathology – Support & Educate Autism” Tee

In addition to screening and diagnosing autism spectrum disorders, speech-language pathologists help autistic children and adults develop their social communication skills. This preshrunk heavyweight cotton tee boasts fitted tapered sleeves, double-needle hems and rib-trimmed crew neckline. Our encouraging butterfly logo signifies speech-language pathology’s ability to help autistic patients break out of their communication cocoons.

A New Year Brings New Dansko Styles! 05 February 13 01:29 PM postedby ADVANCE

Ask any healthcare professional which work shoe they prefer and odds are they’ll answer “Dansko”. Between their innovative, comfortable designs and signature colors and patterns, medical professionals have been thoroughly impressed with the Dansko difference. After one pair, many men and women quickly become Dansko fans for life. Dansko footwear is proving so popular with the healthcare world that many fans are wearing them outside of the workplace.

 

Here are just a few of the many compliments that have been posted on our site:

 

“To those of you who are Dansko "fanatics" like me, you know good, quality shoes when you wear them. I have to admit that I have more Dansko work shoes than “going-out” shoes. I am going on my seventh pair of Dansko clogs and I want more! Please invest in a pair. Your feet will thank you for it.” - Soeurette B. - Miami, Florida

 

My Dansko clogs are the most comfortable shoes to wear during my 12-hour shifts. Not to mention that I get a lot of compliments about the style.” – Sharron G. – Rahway, New Jersey

 

“I’m on my second pair of Dansko slip-ons after seven years. Best shoes ever and worth every penny!” – Loree T. – New Jersey

 

“I'm very happy with my Dansko clogs. These shoes are wonderful. I had heard so much about them and it was all true: comfort, arch support and looks.” – Mary Ann N. – Tualatin, Oregon

 

“How can you put a price on the health of your feet and back? I wore my Dansko shoes to Disney on the first day of park hopping. The next day I decided to wear tennis shoes and my feet and back suffered as a result. I am on my 10th year with Dansko.” – Malonna M. – Tennessee

 

“I am a recent new grad and decided to purchase these shoes as a graduation present for myself. I decided on Dansko clogs based on the reviews I read – and I am so glad I did! While they’re comfortable from the first day, they’re still amazingly comfortable after one month of breaking them in!” – Stephanie A. – Tucson, Arizona

 

 

Wow! Those are some glowing reviews for Dansko shoes. If you’re thinking about buying your first pair of Dansko shoes, now’s the perfect time. January not only brings us the start of a new year, it also brings us new Dansko styles. In stock and ready to ship, these hot new Dansko styles are sure make you a Dansko convert!

 

Dansko “Professional” Silver Opal Leather Clog

The most important rule to follow when choosing your professional apparel: never underestimate the importance of comfortable shoes.

Awarded the seal of approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association, this top shelf clog also features a bacteria-thwarting sockliner, roomy fit and rocker-bottom design.

We’re in the thick of fall, and do you know what that means? Colder temps and chilly winds are bound to be the norm before winter, and dare we say, snow barges its way back into our lives. Before you break out that heavy winter coat, you need something that’s made to match those in-between days. Something that keeps you warm without feeling overheated. A jacket that doesn’t restrict movement, offers lots of functional accessories, and looks great, too. And if it can be customized with personalized embroidery, that’s even better. ADVANCE Healthcare Shop answers the call by offering a full line of custom embroidered jackets.

 

It’s easy to find what you need in our collection of custom embroidered jackets includes fleeces, windbreakers, hoodies, pullovers, wind shirts and other season-appropriate apparel.

All of our custom embroidered jackets are workplace appropriate, so they’re perfect for individual staffwear or whole departments. Best of all, they never look out of place when you’re off duty.

 

To stay in tune with the latest fashion trends, our apparel experts constantly update our inventory with the hottest jackets on the scene. This season’s standout is an exceptional example of what modern healthcare professionals crave when it comes to outerwear: the Echo Trail™ Jacket from Columbia®.

The newest addition to our line of custom embroidered jackets, the Echo Trail™ combines unsurpassed style with equal doses of function. Sporting an eye-catching color-blocked design, this lightweight unisex jacket packs plenty of heat-warming punch thanks to the ingenious pairing of maximum thermal retention fleece, Microtex Lite II overlay and polyester Chamois Touch tricot lining. Its open bottom with drawcord and toggle system provides unrestricted movement when layering and cinches closed on extremely windy days. Unsurpassed functions can be found in zippered hand pockets and a zippered chest pocket that provides security for credentials, wallets, and other important everyday essentials. Additional standout features include a full-zip front, cinched cuffs, and the signature Columbia logo on the right chest. The only thing missing is your personalized embroidery.
