The Struggles of Pediatric Behavioral Health and Documentation Let's dive into the profound impact of encouragement, especially for those bravely facing pediatric behavioral health challenges.

How do we change doctor and patient behavior?

You might assume that the swallowing specialist's observation of your swallowing process is sufficient. However, it's often necessary to conduct further tests to identify the cause of your swallowing difficulties. This is due to the fact that the timing, strength, and coordination of swallowing are not visible to the naked eye. Studies have revealed that many people aspirate (a condition where food or liquid enters the lungs) without coughing, and this cannot be diagnosed during initial clinical swallowing evaluations. Therefore, additional objective or instrumental examinations are typically required. This article will explore and explain the most common testing techniques - https://lnkd.in/gErPkqMH . Reach out to us here at Freeborn Dysphasia Associates if you or a loved one needs to be tested for swallowing issues. #DysphagiaAwareness #SwallowingDifficulties #SpeechTherapy #SpeechAndSwallowing #CommunicationDisorders #SpeechPathology #SwallowingTherapy #DysphagiaTreatment #SpeechDisorders #DysphagiaSupport #DysphagiaTherapy #SpeechSwallowingRecovery #SpeechPathologist #SwallowingSolutions #DysphagiaManagement #SpeechAndSwallowingDisorders

Hey! This one is for all the psychologists here. Isn't it annoying when clients cancel the session last moment and ask you to reschedule it? At fidatohealth.in, I've seen firsthand the challenges therapists face when clients reschedule or cancel sessions at the last moment. When clients cancel at the last moment, it not only disrupts therapist's schedule but also denies another client the opportunity to take that slot. That's why, at Fidato Health, we've implemented a 12-24 hour rescheduling policy to protect the valuable time of both our clients and therapists. While emergencies are understandable, repeated last-minute cancellations lead to a cancellation fee. It's important to realise that there is already a shortage of qualified psychologists and hence it's important to respect their time and not waste the slots. What do you think about this?
