I have over five years of experience working with patients who have speech and language disorders, including stroke survivors, children with developmental delays, and individuals with neurological conditions. My approach involves conducting thorough assessments, creating personalized treatment plans, and using evidence-based techniques to improve communication and swallowing functions. I am skilled in working with diverse populations and adapting my methods to meet each patient's unique needs.

When faced with challenging behaviors or resistance, I prioritize building trust and rapport with the patient. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and empathy to create a supportive environment. If resistance persists, I adapt my approach by incorporating the patient's interests into therapy or breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps. My goal is to make therapy engaging and effective while respecting the patient's comfort level.

I have extensive experience in dysphagia management, including conducting clinical swallow evaluations, recommending dietary modifications, and implementing therapeutic exercises. I collaborate with dietitians and physicians to ensure comprehensive care. My focus is on improving swallowing safety and function while educating patients and caregivers on strategies to reduce risks, such as aspiration. I stay updated on the latest research and techniques to provide the best outcomes for my patients.

I prioritize clear and consistent communication with family members and caregivers by providing regular updates on the patient's progress and involving them in goal-setting. I offer practical strategies and training to support the patient's therapy at home. Additionally, I use simple language and visual aids to explain complex concepts, ensuring they feel confident and informed in their role as part of the care team.

To manage my caseload effectively, I use a combination of digital tools and time management techniques. I maintain detailed patient records, set reminders for follow-ups, and prioritize tasks based on urgency and patient needs. I also allocate time for documentation and planning to ensure I stay on track. By staying organized, I can provide high-quality care while meeting deadlines and maintaining a balanced workload.
