Promoting the Unique Value of SLP Services In Health Care
Dramatic changes in health care in the past few years have
created significant challenges to speech-language
pathologists. More and more often, SLPs in health care
settings have to work to raise the awareness of other
professionals, consumers, and payers about the value of
speech-language pathology services.
The information included here can be used for direct encounters
with case managers, physicians, and others who need to better
understand what SLPs do and why SLPs are the best qualified
professionals to provide speech, language, and swallowing
services.
