Perform an initial examination and evaluation to establish an impairment/diagnosis, prognosis, and plan of care before intervention for all persons served with basic and some complex rehabilitation needs in acute care, outpatient, or inpatient rehabilitation settings (flexes to any Rehab site as needed)
Provide, or direct and supervise, the therapy intervention consistent with the results of the examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, and plan of care. The therapist involves the patient/client and appropriate others in the planning, implementation, and assessment of the plan of care.

The speech-language pathologist discontinues intervention when the patient/client is unable to continue to progress toward goals or when the speech-language pathologist determines that the patient/client will no longer benefit from therapy (in coordination with referring provider/team where indicated)
Communicate, coordinate, and document all aspects of patient/client management including the results of the initial examination and evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, plan of care, interventions, response to interventions, barriers to progress, changes in patient/client status relative to the interventions, reexamination, and discharge/discontinuation of intervention and other patient/client management activities with members of the care team as indicated.
