Speech Language Pathology

Inpatient Acute Care Speech Pathology

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) assess and treat swallowing disorders with bedside clinical swallow evaluations, modified barium swallow studies, and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) assessments. They also assess speech, language and cognitive abilities after a patient has a stroke, to help improve communication with staff. Some SLPs have further training in feeding disorders and can evaluate infants in the special care nursery that have swallowing or feeding concerns.
