Speaking of compliance, the push for more inclusive language and transparency has led some agencies and organizations to eliminate abbreviations outright.As with any abbreviation used for medical records and legal documents, a facility may have a prior agreed-upon list that supersedes anything that follows here, so consult with your company’s compliance department or EMR superuser to be safe.Clinical Speech-Language Pathology AbbreviationsĪ couple of caveats before we dive into the list (don’t worry, we’ve kept this abbreviated-lol): ![]() And as the bulk of our speech-language pathology abbreviations fall into the clinical category, we’ll start there. We also divided this article up into three sections for easier scannability. To help us on our quest to discover as many SLP abbreviations as possible, we consulted a friend of WebPT, Paige Luetkemeyer, M.S., CCC-SLP (thanks, Paige!). (Don’t worry we’ve got lists for physical therapy and occupational therapy abbreviations, too.) However, the list of medical abbreviations is ridiculously lengthy, so we thought it would be beneficial to narrow our focus, and zero in on the most commonly used speech-language pathology (SLP) abbreviations. The use of shorthand to denote medical diagnoses, devices, movements, anatomical landmarks, certifications, credentials, and more-whether in writing or via an EMR-is commonplace among today’s clinicians.
