Speech Therapy

The speech/language pathologist (SLP) evaluates and treats problems with speech and/or swallowing—both of which can result from damage in the CNS that reduces control of the muscles used in these important functions. The goal of therapy is to enhance ease and clarity of communication and promote safe swallowing and overall health. Some SLPs also evaluate and treat problems with thinking and memory.

Occupational therapy can include:
Assistance and training in performing daily activities. Depending on your needs, these could be:
- Personal care activities. Two examples are dressing and eating.
- Home skills. Some examples are housekeeping, gardening, and cooking.
- Personal management skills. Two examples are balancing a checkbook and keeping a schedule.
- Skills important in driving a car or other motor vehicle. Occupational therapy may be involved in the vision, thinking, and judgment skills needed for driving, as well as in finding out whether special adaptations such as hand brakes are needed.
Cognitive Therapy

Only about one third of MS patients have cognitive symptoms. No, you
are not going crazy. There are things you have noticed a difference in the
way you process information. This is a classic symptom of MS. In this
case your long term memory is better than your short term memory.
Who did I talk to yesterday? Where did I go, and why? Even reading
books, learning materials, articles, planning and driving directions...and
the list goes on.
* Memory
*Forgetfulness
*Organization Skills
*Time Management
Fortunately there are daily tools you can use to keep you focused and on track.

The role of physical therapy will vary across the disease course. In general, however, interventions
should focus on helping the patient to achieve and maintain optimal functional independence,
safety, and quality of life, with the understanding that needs will vary and likely grow over time. In
all care delivery models—inpatient (acute, transitional, rehabilitation or long-term care), outpatient,
or home care
