This episode features Lindsey Howard, MS, CCC-SLP. Lindsey’s vast experience working with adult and geriatric patients across settings and her journey with family members challenged with memory loss has led her to seek methods to make therapy more person-centered. First, she emphasizes the importance of an in-depth case history to develop a personalized care plan, family inclusion, and empowering the patient to help set goals. Next, she incorporates Allen Cognitive Level Staging tools to determine cognitive ability related to functional activities of daily living, with a goal to “age in place.” Finally, Lindsey explains how to develop therapeutic plans to enable clients to regain some control and empower caregivers to find new ways to reconnect with the person with memory loss.
