Description
When a patient arrives on your caseload after a stroke or TBI, you need to know what to assess, how to assess it, and what the results mean for treatment.
This course builds that clinical reasoning from the ground up — SLP scope of practice in medical settings, neuroanatomy, and a systematic approach to evaluating cognition, language, and functional outcomes using standardized tools.
By the end, you’ll know not just which test to give, but why — and what to do with the results.
