[Dysphagia] Patient with PML

Anyone familiar with progressive mulitfocal leukoencephalopathy?  Our department has done some research and have found the basics.  We have a woman with dysphagia and severe dysarthria who may have PML.  As of now we are providing education and a communication board for her.  What would be the typical plan of care/therapy techniques in regard to speech services and are there any contraindications regarding SLP involvement?  

Thanks!
Michelle
