Hi, I’m Jessica, the actual Speech-Language Pathologist you will work with. My first 15 years as an SLP have been spent in various medical settings serving adults in skilled nursing, long term care, outpatient and home health.
While dysphagia can be a daunting condition for physicians, patients and rehab therapists alike, the positive feedback I received from clients allowed me to notice my niche- listening and solving problems to allow people to eat and drink safely and enjoyably.
Difficulty swallowing is personal. You are the expert of the problem, my job is to minimize, or attenuate, that difficulty through diet, self-feeding behaviors amd utensils, environment and awareness of risk factors to allow you to make your own healthcare decisions.
I look forward to working with you!
