Speech Uncensored: A Speech Pathology Podcast

Racism, discrimination, and bias have recently become topics at the forefront of conversations across the country. Inevitably, these conversations have also reached the field of Speech-Language Pathology. From ASHA’s position statement on racism, multiple petitions and calls-to-action for anti-racist clinical practice and academia, ASHA and NSSLHA’s virtual listening sessions on race in CSD, and NBASLH Talks 4-part series, there is a much-needed and timely movement gaining momentum at the national, state, and local levels to improve diversity, inclusion, and anti-racist efforts.

SLPs are often met with a surprised “Wait, that's something you do?!".  We lament no one understands our role or appreciates our work, and it’s easy to lose sight of our passions and the value we bring in a field that spans all ages, particularly when we feel constrained to a certain role or setting.  In this episode, Sarah and Leigh Ann will discuss recognizing and finding your niche and self-value within the SLP field and embracing that value to benefit patients and the field.

A lung transplant has become a frequent treatment option for patients with a variety of end-stage lung diseases. These patients have to be put through rigorous steps in order to deem themselves worthy of receiving this gift. After the transplant, there are potential complications that Speech Pathologists find themselves addressing. Knowledge base of lung disease and its impact on the swallowing, and breathing, creates a foundation for patients and their success. The lung transplant research highlights the underlying risks of an acute rejection and other injuries to the newly transplanted lung. Much of the research is related to esophageal phase dysphagia versus oral and pharyngeal dysphagia. The limited data on oropharyngeal dysphagia indicates that there is a dysphagia component which impact patient’s quality of life and well-being. The research also supports the use of Speech Pathology interventions to mitigate the aspiration risk.
