Okay, this might sound like a trick question, but…What is dysphagia? This single question might be the most “swallow your pride” kind of question for medical SLPs yet… Because, believe it or not, we have yet to establish a standardized definition of dysphagia! Which is exactly why Martin B. Brodsky Ph.D., Sc.M., CCC-SLP, F-ASHA, and Debra Suiter PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S are putting together a conference called “Defining Dysphagia: In Search of a Unified Definition for the Aging Population” and are joining me on this week's episode of the Swallow Your Pride Podcast to talk about it! Dr. Brodksy and Dr. Suiter lay out the facts, questions, and barriers surrounding dysphagia definitions and how they impact clinical practice, research, and patient care. From the discrepancies between patient complaints and clinical definitions to the impacts that dysphagia has on coding and reimbursement, this single word has yet to reach a universal interpretation.

How do we, as SLPs, make decisions? Are we providing all options to patients or simply making a “solid” recommendation? We will discuss how to utilize research-based practices to reduce mistakes while dispelling some common practices and myths surrounding dysphagia care. We will also use these strategies to review case studies, providing real-time takeaways for the practicing clinician.

So you have a patient with dysphagia…what do you immediately start considering? Diagnosis…comorbidities…past medical history…past surgical history…current diet recs… ☝️Those are the typical go-to “textbook” checklist items, but there are other incredibly important considerations that will affect how you evaluate and treat your patient. These considerations impact your clinical recommendations and what matters most to your patients - and they deserve to be honored. I'm talking about cultural and religious considerations in dysphagia - which is exactly what Michelle Weber Dehgan MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-S & Kiana Gardner MA, CCC-SLP dive into this on this week's episode of the Swallow Your Pride Podcast! Together, we discuss the importance of cultural sensitivity in managing dysphagia. Michelle and Kiana highlight the significance of considering patients' cultural preferences, dietary restrictions, and access to food during evaluations and treatment recommendations. They share the results of a survey conducted among SLPs that highlight the challenges in accommodating nutritional preferences and religious and cultural beliefs.

Guests: Caroline Brindo, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-S & Steven Sireci, MD - Not all of us will have the professional opportunity to conduct video fluoroscopic instrumental swallow evaluations; however, most of us will encounter pediatric patients, clients, or students who are in need of one. When that happens, it is common for the caregiver to ask, “What's going to happen?”, “Will the barium hurt?”, “Will they be radioactive?”. These questions can feel overwhelming for those of us in home health, early intervention, and schools because we may not have the answers readily available. But never fear, Caroline and Dr. Steven are here! They will answer these questions and more, such as, “What is barium?”, “Do different recipes for barium impact the swallow study?”, “What can my patient expect?”. So, if you want to know more about the nitty-gritty of barium, then tune in for this hour.

Hannah and Leigh Ann discuss the bad rap SNFs get. Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) often have a negative stereotype and are considered a less prestigious setting of the Med SLP continuum of care. This artificial hierarchy of Med SLP practice limits our potential to provide high quality care in these settings if we feed into stereotypes. Just like any other Med SLP setting, there are challenges and great opportunities with plenty of room to practice at the top of your scope and provide high quality and evidenced based SLP intervention in a SNF. Hannah shares the story of how she has achieved career goals and advanced her practice skillset while working in SNFs - including starting an in-house FEES protocol and obtaining her BCS-S.

Her cup overflows with joy and knowledge… so bring your proverbial cup and join Michelle and Erin and soak it all in!

Guests: Donna Edwards, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-S & Elizabeth Daly, MS, CCC-SLP - If you have heard about the National Foundation of Swallowing Disorders (NFOSD) but were unsure about what this phenomenal non-profit organization does, then this is the hour for you!! Founded by individuals with dysphagia and lead speech-language pathologists in the field of dysphagia, NFOSD has grown tremendously since 2006. From research support for dysphagia across the life continuum to clinical and patient education, teaching skills for self-advocacy, and free support for patients and caregivers via numerous platforms and their free zoom monthly meetings, NFOSD has something for everyone.

You have a new patient coming in with a diagnosis you've never heard of and you've got a whopping 12 minutes to prep. So, to Google you go! But, how do you know if that blog post or even podcast episode you found is actually credible or unbiased? Anyone can publish anything on a website or say anything on a podcast right? Who is there to regulate that info before you apply it to your practice? (Hint: it's you!) My guest this week is sharing about critical review of resources found online for SLPs on the topic of dysphagia and if you've ever found yourself on the other side of a Google search, you won't want to miss this one! In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with R. Jordan Hazelwood, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BCS-S, CCRE about some of the obstacles SLPs face today... or are they opportunities? I'll let you decide. Dr. Hazelwood shares her experience collaborating with an undergraduate student on a project that became her latest paper, Critical Review of Online Resources, Frequently Used by Certified SLPs for Dysphagia Management. She dives into the findings and shares her passion for studying the training of SLPs and ensuring they set out into the world well-equipped with not only clinical skills but just as importantly, critical thinking skills. In this episode, you'll hear about: * Critical Review of Online Resources, Frequently Used by Certified SLPs for Dysphagia Management * Training in best practices for dysphagia management * Who has better critical review skills? Students or seasoned clinicians? * Imposter Syndrome and clinical experience * Setting boundaries and finding balance Get the show notes at https://syppodcast.com/261 The post 261 – Competency, Critical Review, and Critique: Obstacles or Opportunities for Today's SLP? – R.

Guests: Donna Edwards, MA CCC-SLP, BCS-S, F-ASHA, Memorie Gosa, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, & Georgia Malandraki, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, F-ASHA - The guests hold a crucial conversation regarding the ethical utilization of social media as it correlates to pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders. We have all had those moments when we are scrolling on our phones and seen a post that either made us leap for joy, or stare in disbelief. We've seen new accounts that present as “specialists” within the PFD community, but the reel that they share make us scratch our heads and question their validity. Maybe you've seen an announcement of a new research article being published… and been filled with an overwhelming sense of hope for our patients and their caregivers and the trajectory of our field. For better, or worse, social media influences how we practice with our patients…but we need expert guidance in how to be consumers and purveyors of this medium while still adhering to our professional code of ethics. That's what this hour is planning to do: guide your decision-making, infuse you with discernment, and leave you optimistic that you too can master the art of social media consumption and production within the frame of pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders.

Guests: Fe Murray, EdD, CCC-SLP, Raquel Garcia, SLPD, CCC-SLP, CNT, BCS-S & Sofia Carias, MS, CCC-SLP - In this episode, Michelle and Erin are joined by industry leaders from across the nation to hold intimate conversations on how our faith and cultures influence our practice as pediatric speech-language pathologists. These two hours is an outgrowth of a lifetime of experiences shared by all the presenters, cultural missteps and corrections, religious misunderstandings, and deeply personal conversations for growth and respect. One of the beautiful aspects of our profession is the diversity of the patients we are called upon to serve. However, to fully engage our therapeutic presence, we must understand how different faiths and cultures influence our patients' daily routines and how our religion and culture influence the services we deliver. With this expansion in our knowledge, we can improve our ability to coach caregivers through language acquisition within the framework of daily routines and make respective dietary recommendations for pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders.

Join us in the Lounge as host Katie Holterman, M.S. CCC-SLP, BCS-S, Senior Director of Clinical Programming & Development, and cohost Meredith Brunk, Director of Occupational Therapy Clinical Services, dive into the world of balance. The team met with our partner, Andrea Case-Rogers, Chief Experience Officer of ZIBRIO the balance company.  ZIBRIO Stability Scale (ZIBRIO) technology was introduced into Legacy communities to determine specific fall risks in residents versus reacting once a fall happens. The purpose of the Stability Scale is to first increase the accuracy of fall risk assessment (it identifies up to four times more high-risk patients than current clinical methods), while the partnering application identifies the “why” behind an individual's physical balance score by evaluating the “six pillars of balance.”  "We find it to be beneficial for the residents we serve to be able to provide the balance score for them and our staff members to utilize this piece of technology."At Legacy Healthcare Services, our mission is to improve the health of senior adults so they may live life the way they want to live it through wellness, education, safety, rehabilitation, and caring.

#50: Many babies on tube feedings can learn to become independent eaters. In this episode feeding therapists Jennifer Berry, MS, OT/L and Heidi Liefer Moreland, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, CLC explain the challenges facing families of babies that rely on tube feeds for nutrition. They often face the realities of no exit strategy from the tube, lack of communication among the healthcare team and a misunderstanding of the developmental abilities and feeding needs of the individual babies.   Heidi and Jenny share how their intensive feeding tube weaning programs work. They talk about the important foundations of responsive feeding that can benefit all parents and caregivers, as well as the need to build trust in the feeding relationship and implement Satter's Division of Responsibility in all stages of feeding. As feeding therapists Jenny and Heidi advocate for helping babies achieve feeding milestones, albeit with variability and starting where each child is at. They believe that the majority of feeding interventions should address the child's skill, their need to overcome aversion and their ability to self-feed.   If you're ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating then let's get started learning about baby-led weaning together!
