How Speech-Language Pathology Helps
INCREASED INDEPENDENCE
Once a Premier Rehab speech-language pathologist evaluates and implements a patient- specific therapy plan, patients may achieve more independence with communication and swallowing function. Memory care patients and those with cognitive deficits benefit from comprehensive evaluation and treatment plans including memory training programs that improve overall cognition, safety and daily functioning.
OPTIMAL COMMUNICATION
Whether it is communicating needs, conversing with friends, or just saying hello, communication is key to the human experience. Improved communication can create a positive impact on our patients’ health and personal interactions.
OPTIMAL NUTRITION
Correcting an impaired ability to swallow can open the way for much greater opportunity to take in nutritious foods safely.
EARLY DETECTION
A speech-language pathology assessment and subsequent plan of care can help delay the progression of cognition, memory, speech, language, and swallowing impairments sometimes caused by injury, disorders, or disease.
