<p>Speech-Language Pathologists often express that opportunities available to other therapy disciplines or other medical professionals appear to be closed off to them. Their reasoning is that the perception of what speech-language pathologists do and the nature of our training impedes our ability to advance.</p> <p>In this week’s podcast, my guest Vince Clark and I will continue to explore this perception. We designed a survey in 2021 that was accepted as an ASHA Convention presentation. Unfortunately, due to complications from Covid, we were unable to present it at that time. The survey was designed to determine why SLPs feel that leadership and career advancement eludes them. We will use this tool to determine patterns that may enlighten the profession as we seek to train our future leaders.</p> <p>This is preliminary raw data, but eventually, we hope to shape this into a useful tool in the future.

<p>Would you ever consider seeing a child with PFD via teletherapy? If you're most people, you'd probably prefer to see them in person. But what happens when a pandemic shuts the world down and those children still need therapy? My guest this week is sharing how she went from being skeptical and feeling like there's no way teletherapy could work for PFD clients to seeing parents become empowered, confident partners helping their children make leaps and bounds of progress through teletherapy.</p> <p>In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Robin Vincent, MS, CCC-SLP, about treating clients with PFD via teletherapy during and after the pandemic. While most people might prefer to treat PFD clients in person, there are some major perks to utilizing teletherapy for this population that often get overlooked! Robin shares her experiences, her tips for SLPs who want to work with the PFD population, and some inspirational reminders that we can all use!</p> <p>Haven’t left a review yet?

<p>Have you ever gotten a MBSS report and felt like you needed to do another study just to get the information you need to actually know how to treat the patient? Many SLPs have faced this dilemma that is not only wildly frustrating, but delays care, increases costs, and exposes patients to more radiation... BUT my guest this week created a solution and is sharing the details on how you can do the exact same thing for your community!</p> <p>In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Nikki Howell, CCC-SLP, about her experience in starting an MBSS Initiative that has transformed into a full-blown SLP Council for the SLPs in her area to collaborate! The project started as a way to improve the consistency of MBSS in the facilities in her area but has grown to be something MUCH greater that will have a long-lasting effect for patients and clinicians alike. Nikki is passionate about bettering our field, her education, and working together to improve patient care!</p> <p>In this episode, you'll hear about:<br /> *The beginning of the MBSS Initiative<br /> *How it has now transformed into an SLP Council<br /> *Goals of the council<br /> *How did Nikki find herself in a position to start the initiative?<br /> *Resilience tips for SLPs</p> <p>Listen to the full episode here: https://syppodcast.com/269</p> <p>The post <a href="https://swallowyourpridepodcast.com/269-better-together-the-slp-council-initiative-with-nikki-howell-ccc-slp/">269 – Better Together: The SLP Council Initiative with Nikki Howell, CCC-SLP</a> appeared first on <a href="https://swallowyourpridepodcast.com">Swallow Your Pride Podcast</a>.</p>

<p>If you got a consult for a pediatric TBI patient, would you expect them to be like any other peds patient? Or maybe like your adult TBI patients? Or... maybe you have no idea what to expect at all! There is little research to guide our practice with this unique population, but my guest this week is changing that!</p> <p>In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Jessica Salley Riccardi, PhD, CCC-SLP, about her research in the pediatric TBI population. Jessica is the principal investigator of the BEaR Lab (Brain Injury, Education, and Rehabilitation) and gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the questions they're seeking answers to, how this affects clinical practice, and how it might change policy in the future. She shares insightful info that SLPs can directly apply to their work today as well as considerations for the future work we have yet to do!

<p>How many times have you had a dysphagia patient that is at the end of their life and someone suggests a PEG? Maybe they still want to eat, because food makes their life enjoyable, but they don't want to be a DNR? What's the SLP's role in the decision-making process in palliative dysphagia management? And where do we even begin to tackle these issues? My guest this week is answering ALL of these questions and dropping some major inspiration while she's at it!</p> <p>In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Mechelle Motsinger, MA, CCC-SLP about her experience in creating The Dysphagia Pathways Program, a decision-making guide for palliative management of dysphagia. She discusses her experience from her literature review to submission for publication and everything in between. Mechelle shares so many real-life situations in this conversation that SLPs will resonate with and find comfort in knowing they're not in this fight alone. Our field will be grateful for the guidance of The Dysphagia Pathways Programs for years and years to come.</p> <p>In this episode, you'll hear about:<br /> -What is The Dysphagia Pathways Program?<br /> -What is the SLP's role in palliative care?<br /> -Does a patient have to be a DNR if they don't want to follow the recommended diet?<br /> -How can SLPs have difficult conversations, hold space for their patients, and help their physician colleagues in the same breath?</p> <p>Get the show notes at https://syppodcast.com/266</p> <p>The post <a href="https://swallowyourpridepodcast.com/266-the-dysphagia-pathways-program-palliative-dysphagia-management-mechelle-motsinger-ma-ccc-slp/">266 – The Dysphagia Pathways Program: Palliative Dysphagia Management – Mechelle Motsinger, MA, CCC-SLP</a> appeared first on <a href="https://swallowyourpridepodcast.com">Swallow Your Pride Podcast</a>.</p>

<p>Looking to get into the NICU or EI settings? My guest this week is sharing her experience working with these populations and some of the newer challenges they're facing. As the opioid epidemic continues to devastate far too many lives, our youngest patients unfortunately are included in that. Erin Redle Sizemore, PhD, CCC-SLP is sharing how SLPs can help these children in the NICU and EI to set them up for success long term.</p> <p>She is a wealth of knowledge about Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) and what development looks like for these children. Erin shares ideas for providing the best care for this population and how we can best prepare SLP grad students to work with these patients.</p> <p>Dr. Sizemore also gives us a peek into what it's like to start a brand new master's program for SLPs (the tough and rewarding parts!) when she's not serving her patients in the NICU! She's making such a massive impact on the future of our field, the patients we see, and the practices used.

<p>Are you a medical SLP or a school SLP? What if I told you that you don't have to choose? Sure, many SLPs work in schools and PRN in a medical facility on the weekends or during school breaks... But what about the SLPs who work in the schools and help their PFD kids in the academic setting? My guest this week is sharing how she's paving the way for PFD to be treated in the school setting in her community after seeing a need left unmet!</p> <p>After all, these kids are eating at school and don't get to check their PFD at the door...</p> <p>In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Lauren Pontoppidan Straughan, MA, CCC-SLP about pediatric feeding disorders, the weight PFD parents carry, and the many settings in which SLPs can help PFD patients (hint: it's not just for "medical" SLPs!)</p> <p>Lauren is deeply passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about PFD, but what I admire most about her after this conversation is her ability to meet families where they are and consider the entire picture of not just the patient, but their entire family when making recommendations and walking through the PFD journey with them. She's an asset to every family she encounters, her school team, and the entire field of speech-language pathology!</p> <p>In this episode, you'll hear about:<br /> -Getting into feeding/dysphagia when your CF was done in a school and the false dichotomy of the "medical SLP" vs "school SLP"<br /> -Challenges and benefits of each setting (school, clinic, home health)<br /> -Key differences in assessment and treatment of babies versus adults<br /> -Valuable courses for pediatric feeding<br /> -The role of the SLP for sensory feeding disorders</p> <p>Get the show notes at syppodcast.com/264</p> <p>The post <a href="https://swallowyourpridepodcast.com/264-pediatric-feeding-in-real-life-from-the-nicu-to-the-schools-lauren-pontoppidan-straughan-ma-ccc-slp/">264 – Pediatric Feeding in Real Life: From the NICU to the Schools – Lauren Pontoppidan Straughan MA, CCC-SLP</a> appeared first on <a href="https://swallowyourpridepodcast.com">Swallow Your Pride Podcast</a>.</p>

<p>As SLPs, we often have BIG dreams of how we can improve our field, our facility, and the care our patients receive. All too often, these big dreams are suffocated by red tape and never come to fruition despite SLPs' most valiant efforts. It's certainly an uphill battle, but my guest this week is showing us how to pave our own path to the field of our SLP dreams.</p> <p>In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Katie Moore, MS, CCC-SLP, about her monumental achievements in her career, including building not one but two full-time positions in her outpatient rehab facility but also building an entire Head and Neck Cancer Clinic where she works hand-in-hand with her surgeons, radiation oncologists, radiologists, and the entire medical team to provide the best care for cancer patients (including pre-treatment education! *cue the clapping from SLPs everywhere*)</p> <p>Katie is tenacious and determined but she is also laser-focused on providing the highest quality of care to help her patients win.</p> <p>Haven’t left a review yet?

<p>Your patient is set to discharge at the end of the week, but you know their needs are high and their level of support at home won't be. How do you help ensure they're going to be prepared to go home and not get lost in the shuffle? How can SLPs best care for our patients after they're no longer under our care? My guest this week is sharing the answers to these questions and more!</p> <p>In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Alicia Brooms, MS, CCC-SLP, about the weight our recommendations hold and the best ways we can prep our patients for the next steps and the next level of care.

<p>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!)</p> <p>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!</p> <p>In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with R.
