Cirrhosis of the Liver and Cognitive Imp...

Theresa Richard, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
About this episode

Most SLPs we know can count on one hand (…or one finger!?) the number of times they learned about the liver in grad school.

But when it comes to our role in cognitive-communication disorders, liver disease can be a main cause — and something you absolutely should be familiar with!

In this week’s new resource, Cirrhosis of the Liver and Cognitive Impairment by Latifah Alexander, M.S., CCC-SLP, you’ll:

  • Discover how cirrhosis of the liver leads to cognitive impairment
  • Explore medical management and treatment considerations
  • Examine the SLP’s role in treating cognitive-linguistic deficits related to cirrhosis of the liver

Get ready to learn how our biggest internal organ can have a major impact on cognitive-communication skills! ⬇️
