149: The One Thing: Interdisciplinary care in the inpatient rehabilitation setting with Tyler Roman MA, CCC-SLP
One area my guest, Tyler Roman, feels speech therapy sometimes struggles is fitting into the Inpatient Rehab (IPR) puzzle. Many patients want to focus on motor recovery and are not yet experiencing difficulties in daily tasks they were completing prior to their hospitalization. Many times CEUs/blog posts focus on the acute setting or functional cognition with home health/outpatient focus.
Key Takeaway:
Talk to your PT/OT counterparts and see where breakdowns in ADL/IADLs are occurring during therapy. Adapt “traditional” therapies to incorporate feedback from teammates to address breakdowns.

Thanks for these great resources, Tyler!
I am a speech therapist working in Columbus, Ohio at an 72 bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital for the past 5 and a half years. I have worked in the acute care setting with our partner hospital in a PRN role. I recently presented at the OhioHealth Neuroscience Symposium on an interdisciplinary approach to executive functions following ABI. I am passionate about collaborating with my OT/PT counterparts to maximize patient outcomes during their IPR stay and setting them up for success and transition to the next level of care.
