-: My name is Kayla St. Holtz,
and I'm a speech-language pathologist.
In the hospital setting, I do a lot of swallowing evals,
so making sure people are safe to eat
and then also working with their cognition
to make sure that they're safe to go home
to take care of themselves
and giving them some compensation strategies
to be safe while eating and doing their everyday activities.
And then in the outpatient setting, I primarily work
with the pediatric population, so that deals more heavily
with their language development and their speech production.
