HS837-7-__ : Speech and Language Therapy - Adults 2

Welcome to HS837!

This module builds upon your knowledge of anatomy, physiology, voice, and disease from previous modules. The nature and neurology of progressive neurological disease is examined and compared to healthy typical ageing, with particular reference to Motor Neurone Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and tumour.

The speech, language, and communication difficulties arising from these progressive conditions are examined; dysphagia from HS836 is also integrated into discussions. Particular emphasis is paid to the impact of difficulties on the service user and their family, as well as the role of the SLT as part of a team in the assessment and management of speech, language, and communication to enhance quality of life. There is emphasis in this module on the assessment, description, transcription, and management of the dysarthrias.
