Speech Uncensored

Kate joins Leigh Ann to unpack the role of podcasts as vehicles to deliver continuing education for busy SLPs. Kate covers inside information on the process of going from providing CMHs to ASHA CEUs for her podcast, SLPNerdcast, and the importance of getting exposed to continuing education outside of our field. Our conversation veers into soapbox territory (the best) and we discuss getting outside of our comfort zones, and the need for an increase in formal mentorship programs for our field. Listen in and catch the “informally informative” vibes.

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. This two-part episode will discuss some of the racial barriers and implicit/explicit biases that have played a role in the homogenous racial and ethnic make-up of our field. Additionally, this episode will brainstorm ways to overcome these barriers in the future, and identify simple steps that every person can take to move towards anti-racist and culturally competent clinical practice.

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.

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.

Dysphagia negatively impacts the quality of life of patients and may lead to malnutrition, dehydration, aspiration pneumonia and even death (Foley et al., 2009). We, as speech-language pathologists, must be aware of the experience of living with dysphagia, as “swallowing problems evoke a host of distressing psychological responses such as anxiety, shame, embarrassment, fear, and reduced self-esteem” (McHorne et al., 2000). These distressing psychological responses may affect the overall quality of life and life satisfaction; and therefore, swallowing assessments must be completed in consideration of the direction and goals of care of the patient and family. A palliative care team is vital in this aspect; deciphering patients’ wishes via medical orders for life-sustaining treatment, while providing an extra layer of support for the patient and family. Speech-language pathologists and palliative care professionals work together to effectively provide education and counseling to patients and their families regarding the progressive nature of a disease, dysphagia, and nutritional options. Nutritional options include oral intake, comfort feeds, and/or alternate means of nutrition/hydration. Information provided must be based on current research, following evidenced based practice. This collaboration and communication foster the patients cultural, spiritual, and personal ideas, promoting overall quality of life.

No matter what concerns a client presents with, each and every therapist must function as an educator during treatment. As such, having a clear understanding of health literacy is one of the cornerstones of being a good clinician-educator. Health literacy will not only help maximize patient outcomes, but also improve the patient experience by increasing independence and personal autonomy.

Why should we care about the Participation Model for therapy? Isn’t that just something for Aphasia therapy (LPAA)? Well, if your patients haven’t been hinting about this directly to you, then researchers have been publishing on what patients want in therapy. Sarah Baar of Honeycomb Speech Therapy has been combing the literature, implementing this model, and presenting on it for about 5 years now. The fruit of that work is in a tool (The Activity Studio!) that makes implementing the participation model in therapy a snap. Today’s conversation is a review of the literature supporting the need for us to shift our focus of therapy from a solely “impairment” activity model to a participation model.

How do we move from discovering a problem our patients face to developing an innovative solution? The pattern of innovation, deeply rooted in collaboration across disciplines will be explored. The innovation stemmed from an understanding of the change in the dining experience for someone with dysphagia and their caregiver. We will focus on snack time as an opportunity to re-create the slow grazing behaviors that can lead to increased nutrition. Benefits of increasing snacking frequency and snacking options with dysphagia will be shared. Transitional foods can help with increasing snacking options for dysphagia sufferers but it is a poorly understood category in the IDDSI pyramid. It is often offered as a training food for the pediatric population but its potential will be untapped for the adult population as well.

According to the ASHA’s 2019 Annual Member and Affiliate Profile, the race and ethnicity demographics in the field of Speech-Language Pathology is largely homogenous—with many minority groups sorely underrepresented. ASHA endorses the idea that “cultural competence=clinical competence”, furthering the representation and understanding of cultural and linguistically diverse groups can result in better patient care. While there have been and currently are many efforts to increase diversity in our field, the numbers have remained relatively stagnant over the years. This episode will explore the issues of diversity in our field, highlight current efforts increase diversity in our field, and outline steps that clinicians can take to improve their cultural competence. Further, we will discuss the value of mentorship, particularly for pre-professionals and early career professionals, and its role it increasing diversity in our field.
