Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) play an important role in helping patients recover during their stay at critical illness recovery hospitals. SLPs evaluate and treat patients who have speech, communication or swallowing disorders. Our SLPs also evaluate patients to determine if they require a communication device. They may recommend traditional or high-tech devices that enhance speech and language skills. Patients with a tracheostomy tube have lost their ability to speak because of the tube. SLPs will often recommend use of a speaking valve which can give patients back their voice allowing them to once again express themselves with their family and care team.

Patients experiencing dysphagia—difficulty swallowing—will undergo evaluation and assessment by a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP). Additional evaluations may be recommended and performed. That might include a modified barium swallow study—a type of swallowing x-ray—or a fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation where a scope fitted with a tiny camera is used to assess how well a patient swallows. Treatment for dysphagia is then tailored to the patient’s specific type or cause of their swallowing disorder. Based on the findings, an SLP may recommend one or more of the following treatments. #BetterSpeechandHearingMonth #speechlanguagehearingmonth
