What Are Common Assessments and Treatments by SLPs?
SLPs conduct a variety of assessments to determine the nature and extent of communication and swallowing problems. These assessments may include video fluoroscopic swallow studies, fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), and voice evaluations. Treatment can range from targeted exercises, dietary modifications, and speech therapy techniques to more complex interventions like the use of prosthetic devices.
