This is a blog entry that was written by two speech therapists practicing in hospice care, Maggie Vescovich, SLP and Terri Durkin, SLP. The blog audience? End of life caregivers, those who have or are actively caregiving someone receiving end of life services. Recognizing that Allied Therapy services are specialized in the hospice trajectory, this blog post is a nice introduction to the physical and emotional benefits of working with a skilled hospice speech therapist.
