Abstract
As a whole, speech-language pathology assessments are conducted for the examination of speech, language, and cognitive abilities, and swallowing safety and function. Within the medical setting, there are a number of types of evaluations performed by speech-language pathologists that provide valuable information to guide medical management of patients. These assessments include clinical swallowing evaluations; instrumental swallowing exams, including the modified barium swallow study and the fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing; and assessments of communication, including assessment of speech, language, voice, cognition, and need for supportive devices to facilitate communication.
