This session will review and discuss the article "Best Practices in the Clinical Management of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Syndrome: A Consensus Statement of the CurePSP Centers of Care" by Bluett et al. (2021). Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of both the medical management of PSP and the SLP's scope of practice in treating related speech, swallowing, and cognitive-linguistic impairments. Specific evidence-based treatment targets for dysphagia, communication, and cognitive-linguistic intervention will be reviewed.
