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. Documentation and Compliance: Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation of patient assessments, treatment plans, progress notes, and discharge summaries in the electronic health record (EHR) system. 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. Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate with physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals to provide holistic care for patients.
