What is an Adult Acute Speech and Language Therapist
An adult acute speech and language therapist (SLT) assesses and treats adults experiencing difficulties with communication, swallowing, or voice due to various conditions. SLTs assess and advise when someone has a speech or swallowing problem. They work across a range of acute hospital specialties, including Medicine for Older People, the acute medical unit, critical care, respiratory, clinical pharmacology, haematology, and oncology.
Some conditions that may lead to the need for SLT services include:
- Neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, dementia, and motor neuron disease
- Stroke and brain injuries
- Head and neck disorders or cancer
- Voice disorders
- Post-surgical complications
- Acute onset of illnesses
SLTs operate in diverse hospital environments and collaborate with patients' families and caregivers to provide support and enhance their understanding of the challenges faced.
SLTs may:
- Assess patients with tracheostomies and assist in developing weaning plans
- Conduct video fluoroscopy, an X-ray procedure for analysing swallowing to evaluate a patient’s swallowing abilities and aspiration risk
- Train newly qualified SLTs in dysphagia assessments
Some indicators of communication difficulties include:
- Challenges in understanding spoken or written language
- Trouble with speaking and retrieving the correct words
- Emerging spelling and/or reading difficulties
- Inconsistencies in word pronunciation
- Slurred or unclear speech
- Voice issues (e.g., hoarseness, strain, weakness)
- Dysfluency (such as stammering or stuttering)
