  • Telepractice with Expressable, Medicare Changes, Visual Aides for Memory, Special Education Waivers, and Concussions

    Matt is not watching Wrestlemania for the first time in over 5 years as he lost his interest in the show. In the realm of therapy, Matt got his hands on an N-95 mask to wear for his safety. Michelle and her family have been doing the best they can to get out of the house as much as possible into their yard. Michael and Matt talk about getting hair-cuts at home. On Discord, the talk has been about how to handle long-distance learning in the schools. Leanna Sherred from Expressable, an online speech and language therapy company, sat down with Matt to talk about ways to implement teletherapy. On today’s show, we look at the 2020 Medicare outpatient coding changes, external memory aides, and changes to educational law based on Covid-19. This week’s Informed SLP update, they look at the long term effects of concussion. We also look at our SSPOD Shoutouts and Due Process. The ASHA spotlight looks at what ASHA is doing for us during this time of the pandemic. We also replace the Hot Take with a Hot Seat

    The Discord is up and ready for people to interact with the crew 24/7 with a new website, www.discord.speechsciencepodcast.com.

    SSPOD Shoutout: Do you know an SLP who deserves a digital fist bump or shout out? We want to know your #SSPODSHOUTOUT, like our Military SLPs who participated in a countrywide social hour online. .


    SSPOD Due Process: Do you have a complaint or need to vent, then you want to participate in the #SSPODDUEPROCESS.

    Article #1: At the beginning of the year, Medicare changed the billing and coding for outpatient therapy. Michael talks about a change that has affected him since the start of the new year.

    Article #2: How does visual aides affect long term memory? Visual aids can lead to better recovery of information, but only if you are using them correctly. Michael breaks down how this looks for executive functioning.


    Article #3: A waiver may be introduced for schools affected by Covid-19. What does this mean for therapy minutes on an IEP?

    Interview: Leanne Sherred of Expressable sat down with Matt to talk Telepractice and ways to make it work. Leanne calls Austin, Texas home but studied Speech and Hearing Sciences at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and gained her Master's in Speech-language pathology from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. While her interest in speech prior to college was piqued by accents and dialects as it pertained to acting and performance, once she began studying in the field, her eyes were opened to the huge range of topics that an SLP can cover. She has worked in pediatric outpatient clinics, schools, early intervention, and home health. As many SLPs do, she found working with students, patients, and clients to be her favorite part, but dreaded the paperwork headache of insurance submissions and SO many denials. Her heart broke for families that were denied coverage, especially when out-of-pocket speech rates meant that the family would then potentially forgo the services all together. So with the combined brainpower of her husband, Nick - who has experience in the healthcare tech industry - and two other teammates, the vision for Expressable was created. A telepractice company, Expressable envisions a modern and affordable way for anyone who needs speech therapy to access it - with all the superb convenience of therapy at home and without breaking the bank.

    The Informed SLP: A recent study looked at the effects of a concussion. Post-concussion participants scored normal on the discrete cognitive-linguistic tests typically used. However, when shown an unfamiliar video, then given 5 minutes to write a narrative, the patients with post-concussion produced significantly fewer key story points.

    ASHA Spotlight: The crew celebrate ASHA’s one-stop-shop for all information affecting SLPs and AuDs with the Covid-19 Pandemic.

  • Learn with Less (stuff), Mask Usage in a Pandemic, and Special Education Moving Online

    The crew continues to struggle with stay at home orders and balancing it with their therapy.   Michael has moved his private practice a teletherapy setting and he continues to identify ways to improve his therapy delivery.   Michelle is adjusting and facing the challenge of working from home while her husband works from home as well and having a young child at home.  Michelle’s clinic remains closed but is making plans to open shortly.  Matt continues to change the way he is presenting therapy to his students from the school district and still is seeing elderly patients in the home setting.  On today’s show we are talking the recent updates on the FDA and sterilization of masks, a study on paper versus cloth masks, looking at special education and kids falling through the cracks, and telepractice success stories.  Hours after recording this show, Battelle was approved to use the serialization process for masks.  On this week’s Informed SLP update, they look at the research behind hearing aides and young children.  We also look at our SSPOD Shoutouts and Due Process.  The ASHA spotlight looks at what ASHA is doing for us during this time of pandemic. 

     

    The Discord is up and ready for people to interact with the crew 24/7.

     

    SSPOD Shoutout: Do you know an SLP who deserves a digital fist bump or shout out?  We want to know your #SSPODSHOUTOUT, like front line workers and SLPs who are working with out Covid-19 positive patients.     

     

    SSPOD Due Process:  Do you have a complaint or need to vent, then you want to participate in the #SSPODDUEPROCESS.  This week’s due process comes from the crew as they hate the way people use racial terms to name the current Covid-19.    

     

    Article #1: A recent study shows that the use of cloth masks have a higher infection rate than the surgical masks.  Also Ohio based Battelle has identified a way to sanitize N95 masks.  At the time of recording, they were awaiting FDA approval to disinfect up to 160,000 masks per day.  Hours after recording, the FDA gave them the approval needed. 

     

    Article #2: As we move education online, the role of the special education teacher and related staff becomes more difficult.  Recent articles look at the risk our students face of falling through the cracks of education. 

     

    Interview: Ayelet Marinovich is an SLP and the host of the Learn with Less Podcast.  On her show and in her books she addresses the challenges and realities of early parenthood, and the information you need to know about early childhood.

     

    The Informed SLP: Keeping anything on a toddler that the toddler doesn’t want there is one of life’s great challenges. Hats, sunglasses, pants… the struggle is real. When you add hearing aids to that mix you’d better put on a hard hat because there may be things flying at your head. So if you work with toddlers who are Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing (DHH), you are 100% going to get parents coming in saying that they have the hearing aids, but the toddler just will not wear them.

     

    ASHA Spotlight: COVID-19 has created many challenges to our daily lives. One of the ways ASHA can help you during this difficult time is to offer you free continuing education.

    SSPOD Shoutout:   Autumn Bryant from Expand your scope.  Find her online at https://www.facebook.com/expandyourscope/

     

    SSPOD Due Process:  Do you have a complaint or need to vent, then you want to participate in the #SSPODDUEPROCESS.  Hit up the show and let us know your due Process    

     

    Interview: Angie is a Certified Life Coach and School-Based SLP.  She lives with her husband and two little girls in the Rochester NY area. Her passion is to rescue SLPs who are feeling overwhelmed, overworked and trapped in a career they're "supposed" to love. She shows her clients how to reclaim their energy, create more time and generate resources.  Her mission is to help whip-smart SLPs do less, be more, and thrive with joy in the one life they have. 

     

    The Informed SLP: AMR 2.0: Take a deep breath and say “buh-buh-buh” as quickly as you can, as long as you can, until you run out of breath. Alternating Motion Rates (AMRs) have been a staple in clinical evaluations of motor speech performance for decades; they are easy to use and can tell us a lot about the neuromuscular integrity of persons with suspected motor speech disorders.

  • Crying in Your Car, Predicting Dyslexia, and Dehumanizing and Social Skills

    The gang is back together for Episode 102 and the show has a new format.  The show was recorded the night of the Emmy’s and the evening of learning about the passing of Kobe Bryant.  The crew comes to terms with the loss of an athlete and the role the Grammy’s have in letting us know we are getting older.  On the show this week, Michelle sat down the author, Kari Knutson, of the article than ran in the ASHA Leader about crying in your car.  Is training social skills dehumanizing?  Also, can you predict Dyslexia?  We also have our SSPOD Shoutout, the SSPOD Due Process, the ASHA Spotlight, and the SSPOD Hot Take. 

     

    The Discord is up and ready for people to interact with the crew 24/7.

    SSPOD Shoutout: We want to know your #SSPODSHOUTOUT, like Kerry David, the owner of Join Hope Speaks.  Kerry trains providers and gives therapy to those who need it in areas that may not have the resources.   

     

    SSPOD Due Process:  Do you have a complaint or need to vent, then you want to participate in the #SSPODDUEPROCESS.  This week’s due process comes from Talking With Tech’s host, Rachel Madel.  She is upset about the gatekeeping involved in getting AAC devices to our students who need it.    

     

    Article #1: Dyslexia in children may be predictable.  A study running in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research look at the link of Phonological Awareness and the prediction of Dyslexia in Children.  What do the results mean for your therapy setting?

     

    Article #2: Some have called ABA therapy just dog training for humans.  What does training social skills really look like?  Can it be dehumanizing?  How can we change our therapy settings to be more open to all of our patients and students. 

     

    Interview: In the ASHA Leader, an article called “Whats EQ Got to Do with It?” Kari Knutson wrote an article looking at stress management.  Kari’s first article in the ASHA Leader was edited and Kari found out the hard-way what an editors pen can do when the term “Cry in your car” was left in the article with no perspective or other information given.  Kari talks the process of this article and her original intention about stress management techniques. 

     

    ASHA Spotlight: Its time to look to your colleagues and get them nominated for the 2020 ASHA Awards.  Make sure you are showing ASHA who deserves to be nominated. 

     

    Hot Take: Matt takes the first hot take and takes aim at Internet Bullies.

  • Kristin Martinez and Teletherapy Discussion Part 3, Literacy and Dementia, Cameras in the Therapy Room, Reading Rates and Aphasia, and the Annie Glenn Award

    The Discord is up and ready for people to interact with the crew 24/7. Matt and Michelle are prepping for ASHA this week!  As this goes live, Michelle will be in the air and Matt will be driving through the foothills of Tennessee. Are you making your plans to see the live taping at ASHA? Head over to Xceptionaled.com for more information to see the crew live in Florida.  Matt is presenting on the Ethics of Podcasting and Michelle is hosting a live Speech Science Event.

     

    Teletherapy looks to be the future of speech and language pathology. What is the best way to handle the increase and demands? Michelle sat down with Kristin Martinez from PresenceLearning for a 3 part interview diving into the nuts and bolts of Teletherapy. This week on part 3, they talk about discharge and answering all of your questions about teletherapy. Kristin Martinez is the head of Clinical Standards and Outreach at PresenceLearning.

        

    Did you know there may be a link between literacy and dementia.  Recent research shows that literate patients or patients that are life long readers may have a less chance at cognitive decline and dementia.  How does literacy impact your ability to correctly identify cognitive decline.  How comfortable would you be with a camera in your therapy session?  Who should or shouldn’t access it?  A school district in Dallas wants cameras in every special education classroom. 

     

    The reading rate of speakers may be impacting people with Aphasia.  A study looked at rates of 120, 150, and 180 words per minute to identify the appropriate speed.  Could this impact receptive language students in the classroom?  It is ASHA week, what are your plans?  Make sure you tag #SSPOD in all of your ASHA podcasts and visit the hosts live on the show floor.
