Cognitive and Linguistic Assessment for SLPs and OTs

Presenter: Anne-Marie Kimbell, Ph.D., MSEd., Shelley Hughes, Occupational Therapist and Tina Eichstadt, MS CCC-SLP

Overview
Increasingly, interprofessional practice (IPP) between SLPs and OTs in rehabilitation settings requires greater collaboration and discussion of tool choices and decision-making points in time. A model of work from screening and diagnostic assessment to intervention and progress monitoring will be described in this session. Specific tools will be used as examples for this overall collaborative workflow to illustrate the connections between stages of work and professionals. SLPs and OTs can work together to select the appropriate tools for patients/clients throughout this workflow and interpret data clearly and accurately for communication with the larger healthcare system as well as patients and families.
