Speech Language Pathologist

The primary role of the SLP is to provide quality patient care, though assessment and treatment. The SLP, under general supervision of the Rehabilitation Director, has a wide range of freedom in applying individual professional judgment, discretion, and skill in patient management. The SLP has responsibilities for assigned patients including evaluation, treatment planning, patient treatment, and documentation of care. Therapists are assigned patients ranging in age from neonatal to geriatrics. Assignments are dependent on the specific experience, training and demonstrated competence of the therapist and the needs of the patients. The SLP is expected to develop their clinical skills with ultimate responsibility for assuming clinical competency.
