What does a speech-language pathologist do for adult swallowing disorders?
A Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) plays a key role in assessing and treating adult dysphagia , especially in hospital and ICU settings . They evaluate swallowing function, identify risks like aspiration, and create personalized therapy plans that may include oral motor exercises, diet modification, swallow maneuvers , and feeding strategies . SLPs also guide patients recovering from prolonged intubation or neurological conditions toward safer and more independent eating.
