Perspectives from SCI Therapists: Celina, Speech Therapy

Support the Northwest Regional SCI System by donating at http://www.acceleratemed.org/SCI. After spinal cord injury, individuals often work with many different rehabilitation therapists across both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation as they recover and as function changes over time. We had the chance to talk to several different kinds of rehabilitation therapists about their work including: What is involved in becoming a therapist? What are the main things that each discipline works on with their SCI patients? Why does someone choose to be a therapist and work in rehabilitation? In the fourth podcast of this series, we talk with Celina Smith MS, CCC/SLP about her work as a speech language pathologist and learn about what speech therapists focus on when working with people who have had a spinal cord injury.
