Speech therapy in a hospital-based inpatient rehabilitation program focuses on communication, cognition, and swallowing disorders that result from neurological conditions, injuries, or medical events. Speech-language pathologists work with patients to improve speech, language comprehension, memory, problem-solving, and safe swallowing during their inpatient recovery.

Rehabilitation areas addressed through inpatient speech therapy include:

• Neurological rehabilitation
• Stroke recovery
• Brain injury rehabilitation
• Spinal cord injury-related communication or swallowing needs

Inpatient rehabilitation requires a physician referral and medical assessment establishing that the patient requires intensive, hospital-level rehabilitation therapy (typically 3 hours per day, 5 days per week) and continuous nursing supervision following a medical event, stroke, brain injury, or surgery.
