Case 1
Speech Therapist Assessment

Client Name: Andy Davies

Problems: Inarticulate verbalizations

Mr. Hansen left his denture in during his abdominal surgery because he did not want to inconvenience the doctors and nurses. During the surgery he ground his dentures down from the pain he was experiencing. This could cause problems pertaining to Speech/Language Pathology if the proper measures are not taken:

  • Improper chewing can result in swallowing problems (Dysphagia and/or choking)
  • Poor dental care can cause problems with articulation, if not taken care of within the proper amount of time

This particular client does not present with a demand for my services. I do not see any problems that I can assist with.

Recommendations: Dental Evaluation
