Episode Summary

Dɪsfeʒə?  Dɪsfɑʒə? Təmeto, təmɑto?  That is one of the many questions tackled in this week’s episode with Dr. Lindsey Griffin, a leading professional in the field of adult dysphagia and assistant professor at Emerson College in Boston.  For those of you not practicing in the field of swallowing, this episode will certainly ring some grad school bells as Dr. Griffin walks us through some swallowing bascs that include a refresher on the phases of swallowing and some tried and true strategies to support individuals with swallowing challenges (You guys remember the good ol’ chin tuck, right?).  Working in this area of our field already?  You’ll enjoy some powerful discussions on evidence-based, person-centered decision-making in dysphagia practice amongst several remaining resource and research limitations.  

Listen in and learn about the difference between restorative exercises and compensatory strategies, the why and how of tailoring intervention techniques to an individual’s physiological impairments, and the role of technology in dysphagia care.  You will no doubt find yourself following along with the maneuvers discussed, just make sure to swallow your coffee first!

So, grab a plate of “minced and moist” snack foods and cozy up with Kate, Amy and Dr. Griffin for some nerdy swallow chat! You can learn more about Dr. Griffin here.

Summary Written by Tanna Neufeld, MS, CCC-SLP, Contributing Editor

Learning Outcomes

1. Describe the difference between restorative exercises and compensatory strategies

2. Relate three restorative treatment techniques to the targeted physiological impairment
