155: Colorado Motor Speech Framework with Allison Hilger, PhD, CCC-SLP
Dr. Allison Hilger talks about how the CO Motor Speech Framework came about and how to use it in clinical practice. She also discusses current clinical issues in motor speech and some thoughts on treatment goals.
Key Takeaways:
The CO Motor Speech Framework can be used to guide your observations during motor speech assessment and to obtain evidence for differential diagnosis
Motor speech disorder diagnosis is important for confirming current diagnoses or providing evidence for investigating other diagnoses. SLPs can diagnose MSDs but not the neurological area indicated; instead, we can say that the speech is characteristic of deficits in certain neural regions. This information is important to include to inform the neurological team.
