Speech therapists (ST) assess and treat speech, language, cognitive-communication, voice, swallowing, fluency and other related disorders.
Some of the primary skills performed by Speech Therapists include:
-Evaluation-Voice Disorder Treatments
-Speech Articulation Treatments
-Language Disorder Treatments
-Dysphagia Treatments
Examples of ST interventions include treating speech, language, cognitive-communication and swallowing disorders in individuals of all levels, from infancy to the elderly, utilizing an individualized plan with both long-term and short-term goals established for each individual’s needs.
Home care therapists collaborate with a team including clients, caregivers, physicians, registered nurses, home care aides, and social workers to develop a 60-day plan of care. The overall goal is to help clients achieve their highest possible level of health, independence, and comfort in the home and to help prevent the need for hospitalization.
