As a home health CF-SLP, I typically get referrals for patients with a variety of ranging GDS levels. I see patients at higher GDS levels for exacerbation of disease and it has been difficult sometimes generating goals that serve the patient functionally. This course reassured me of my treatment outcomes and highlighted some important information and functional scenarios that I found very enlightening and relatable.
