Speech-Language Pathology and Palliative Care
Routledge (Verlag)
9781032149615 (ISBN)
This collection provides a unique anthology using current evidence, to consider the valuable role speech-language pathologists play in palliative care across the lifespan. The text empowers SLPs to work effectively and brings awareness to the role of SLPs within the medical, nursing, and allied health care community.
Written by SLPs for SLPs, the book brings together experts in the field for a comprehensive exploration of speech-language pathology in both paediatric and adult palliative care, as well as palliative care in specific contexts, including cases of adult dysphagia, augmentative and alternative communication, and communication partner training, followed by four paediatric and adult palliative care case studies. Final chapters reflect on issues of professional practice and future challenges and opportunities towards enabling SLPs to advocate for innovative services on behalf of their patients.
This book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in speech-language pathology, as well as allied health care professionals and health managers looking to understand the importance of SLP in helping patients achieve holistic health.
