Summary

This study will investigate if the performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is associated or predictive of the outcomes in voice, swallowing or upper airway therapy in the older laryngology treatment seeking patients. The relationship between the scores of MoCA and parameters in therapy will be analyzed. The outcomes of this study could potentially impact how investigators determine candidacy for therapy and develop patient treatment plans to meet their needs. This is a collaborative study with Emory Voice Center and the NYU Voice Center.

Conditions

• Cognitive Impairment
• Voice Disorders

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Speech Therapy	Training with a Speech Language Pathologists for voice disorders. This is typically done with an initial visit done jointly with an MD physician. Then there are 4 subsequent therapy visits in addition to home practice exercises. Finally there will be another joint post-treatment evaluation to determine progress and next steps.
BEHAVIORAL	Swallowing Therapy	Training with a Speech Language Pathologists for swallowing disorders. This is typically done with an initial visit done jointly with an MD physician. Then there are 4 subsequent therapy visits in addition to home practice exercises. Finally there will be another joint post-treatment evaluation to determine progress and next steps.
BEHAVIORAL	Upper Airway Therapy	Training with a Speech Language Pathologists for upper airway disorders. This is typically done with an initial visit done jointly with an MD physician. Then there are 4 subsequent therapy visits in addition to home practice exercises. Finally there will be another joint post-treatment evaluation to determine progress and next steps.
