Offer interventions for cognitive-linguistic impairments related to memory, attention, problem-solving, and executive functioning.

Swallowing and Dysphagia Management:

Conduct swallowing evaluations using techniques such as bedside evaluations, modified barium swallow studies, and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluations (if trained).
Develop and implement treatment strategies to manage dysphagia, including diet modifications, compensatory techniques, and therapeutic exercises.
Educate patients, families, and caregivers on safe swallowing techniques and strategies to prevent aspiration.

Patient and Family Education:

Provide education and training to patients, families, and caregivers on communication strategies, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, and safe swallowing techniques.
Educate patients on exercises and strategies to enhance speech, language, and cognitive abilities at home.

Ensure compliance with federal, state, and facility regulations regarding speech therapy services and patient care.
Participate in care team meetings and interdisciplinary discussions to provide input on patient progress and care planning.
