HCMC Speech Pathology,
Post PTSD Treament Program

Part of the PTSD treatment included speech pathology. I was assigned to Abby Sorenson. My understanding is that patients with PTSD benefit from skills such as creating To-Do lists and other things speech pathologists are trained in.

We’ve met several times. I realize I’m not a typical patient, as when she suggested a 2Do list, as I refer to them, she was unaware of my carefully crafted 2Do lists for each of my projects. I use Excel worksheets with a combination of symbols and titles for each column. The symbols help as visual is easier for me. to follow.
