Rehabilitation of Speech, Language and Swallowing Disorders

  • Chapter
Acquired Brain Injury

Abstract

The speech-language pathology team is a dynamic component of the interdisciplinary neuro-rehabilitation team and is involved in many facets of care. The ultimate goal of this discipline is the restoration of communication competence, resolution of dysphagia, and improvement of oral motor function. The speechlanguage pathologist (SLP) works collaboratively with the acquired brain injury (ABI) survivor, family, and clinical team to create a comprehensive rehabilitation plan of care aimed at improving functional gains, independence, and quality of life.
