Not enough speech therapy: Why?Stroke patients get much more physical rehabilitation than speech therapy. The reason? Physical symptoms are more obviously a medical issue and a physical difficulty often increases the overall cost to care for the patient. For example, if their legs were impaired, they'd need a wheelchair, ramps, perhaps an aid, etc. This increases the cost to the insurance company. So, physical rehabilitation saves money the insurance company money. It's not malicious. It's just business. Providing speech rehabilitation does not generally save the insurance company money. And it's perceived to be a quality of life issue, not a medical need. Bungalow Software disagrees.
