THINKING & COMMUNICATION IN DAILY LIFE
When everyday concerns
deserve a closer look.
Concerns about attention, memory, organization, or communication may prompt a conversation about an evaluation. Individual clinical needs guide whether speech-language pathology is an appropriate next step.
A USEFUL STARTING POINT
A little context.
A more informed conversation.
Start with the functional concerns.
A few specific examples can help frame a conversation about an evaluation.
- Relevant injury history and the reason for considering speech-language pathology.
- Changes in thinking or communication affecting everyday activities.
- The patient’s own priorities and the questions they hope to explore.
Keep the care inquiry centered on the person.
For personal injury matters, begin by asking about clinical fit and the practice’s referral process.
- The individual’s reported concerns and daily activities affected.
- Clinical questions about attention, memory, organization, or communication.
- The care coordination needs connected with the individual’s recovery goals.
