A specialized Speech Therapist employs specific techniques to evaluate patients with feeding and swallowing difficulties, voice disorders, apraxia, aphasia, dysarthria, reading difficulties, memory issues, orientation problems, and other higher cognitive function disorders. These conditions may arise suddenly, such as after a stroke or traumatic brain injury, or progressively in patients with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, or Multiple Sclerosis. The speech therapy process begins with a detailed medical history, gathered from the patient or their caregiver, followed by an orofacial examination and an assessment of speech, communication, and swallowing. Speech Therapists at the Attica Rehabilitation & Recovery Center, in collaboration with Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Physicians, set therapeutic goals aimed at restoring these dysfunctions. At the Speech Therapy Department of the Attica Rehabilitation & Recovery Center, specialized Cognitive Rehabilitation Programs such as Rehacom are utilized. These programs address memory, attention, perception, executive functions, visuomotor coordination, and visual field disorders. Additionally, the Rehalngest for Dysphagia Program is employed to manage swallowing difficulties effectively. Patient evaluation
