Therapie procedure

The diagram on the left shows our approach to the planning, implementation and (provisional) conclusion of therapy.

As a rule, an initial consultation takes place after registration. This is followed by an examination. This information is used to make a diagnosis. This is used to set the goals for the therapy, which are discussed with you. This is illustrated in the diagram below.

In order to achieve your desired goals, exercises are practised first in the therapy situation (in vitro) and then in everyday life (in vivo). This is followed by the self-application phase (e.g. in the treatment of sigmatism) in which new experiences and new knowledge are applied in everyday life. After successful completion of the therapy, there is usually a follow-up, i.e. a follow-up appointment or telephone call after 3 months.

To create transparency in the therapy process, you can clearly recognise the procedure in the diagram. After the diagnosis, a treatment plan is drawn up, which is set out in writing in a medical report and sent to the doctor. As therapists, we are subject to a duty of confidentiality. In order to enable a trusting cooperation between doctor and speech therapist, it is necessary that you release us from the obligation of confidentiality with regard to communication with the doctor in accordance with the statutory data protection guidelines. Only then can correspondence take place.

As a patient, you have the right to inspect files if you wish. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have in this regard.
