ARMS for a Strong Swallow
ARMS – This organized form helps the patient with dysphagia understand how to improve the overall safety of oral intake. It targets how to AVOID swallowing difficulties, how to RECOVER if they cough or choke, how to MAINTAIN their respiratory health, and how to STRENGTHEN their swallowing abilities. It is a form that needs to be tailored to each type of swallowing difficulty so more forms will be coming to this website as they are created.

Strategies to Help Navigate Solutions
This is a document that I can hand tailor to each individual patient as needed. Together, we identify problems they are having and generate possible strategies or solutions to their problems. Because the patient is providing input, this it most effective!

Internal Memory Strategies
This chart is to help your patient see the overall view of internal memory strategies. Use this chart as a launching board for all your internal memory exercises, assisting your patient in identifying which strategy or strategies are most effective for their daily activities.

There really wasn’t much out there for adult speech and language therapy, so I started creating therapy tools with my graduate student and had so much fun that I continued creating templates, charts, flowsheets, etc for other SLPs.

It satisfies my passion for helping people and is quite rewarding knowing I’m making a real difference in their lives. I strive to make my worksheets or educational materials bite-sized and easily understood.
