Speech Uncensored: A Speech Pathology Podcast

On this episode, Brett McCardel and Leigh Ann dive into discourse analysis for your patients with Aphasia. Brett discusses the various resources available on AphasiaBank to assist clinicians with completing discourse analyses in everyday practice. This is especially helpful for our patients working on anomia in conversation. Show notes available at: https://www.speechuncensored.com/podcastepisodes/s3e40

This course is meant to give clinicians an understanding of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux) and EOE (eosinophilic esophagitis), the similarities and differences between the two, how EOE may go undiagnosed, markers to look for as a clinician, when to refer for further testing and diagnostics, and how to provide the best treatment for patients with GERD or EOE.

This course will outline information necessary to initiate telepractice, including rules and regulations, population considerations, and navigating pitfalls to capitalize on the opportunities telepractice allows. Participants will learn how telepractice fits into the current and future view of speech-language pathology.

Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) has been an instrumental tool used in adult intensive care units for many years. Adult intensivists have had education, training, and exposure to FEES to assess oropharyngeal physiology and direct appropriate treatment plans. Pediatric intensivists and neonatologists have had limited exposure to FEES and typically use videofluroscopic swallow studies (VFSS) as the gold standard for assessing dysphagia in infants. The purpose of this presentation is to review the role of FEES in a level three neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCVICU). Physician perceptions and education/training provided to the critical care nurse will be discussed at length, including an online survey that was completed by pediatric intensivists, neonatologists, and nurses about the role of FEES and safety of FEES with infants.

Impacting life participation is an ideal goal for speech therapy, yet our therapy practices across clinical settings don’t always reflect a participation-focused approach. This course aims to describe why we care about targeting participation, what participation can look like in the therapeutic process, and how goals will be impacted and used when therapy is participation-focused with the adult neurogenic population.
