A topic that we were silent on during our Aphasia episode was the importance of Speech-Language Pathologists in the care of patients with Aphasia and, more broadly, throughout different types of care for patients in the hospital, in rehab, and outpatient. Today, we are joined by SLPs and co-hosts of Speech Talk Eva Johnson and Emily Brady to ask all our questions about how SLPs approach cognition, dysphasia, and values in care. Check out their podcast (which is also part of the Human Content family!) at Speech Talk!
