Presenter(s): Meaghan Foody, MS, CCC-SLP; Elizabeth C Walker, PhD, CCC-A/SLP
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: This session describes predictors of hearing aid use time for adolescents who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) as well as activities that target self-advocacy in this population. The session discusses the long-term goal of identifying challenges to device use in adolescents who are DHH and improving self-advocacy skills.
Presenter(s): Laura B Brooks, MEd, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: This session reviews prenatal airway development and abnormalities that can impact communication and swallowing. The speaker reviews different levels of respiratory support from low-flow nasal cannula to mechanical ventilation and speaking valve application for patients who are tracheostomy dependent with or without ventilator dependence. The goal of this session is to expand understanding of anatomy and physiology as well as the impact of anomalies on communication and swallowing.
Presenter(s): Raquel J Garcia, SLPD, CCC-SLP, CNT, BCS-S
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: This session explores functional interventions to maximize developmental feeding skills and swallowing safety in children from birth to 3 years old with a history of cleft lip, cleft palate, and/or craniofacial differences. The speaker discusses case studies from infancy and early intervention that utilize the pediatric feeding disorder criteria to guide differential diagnosis and develop an evidence-based functional intervention plan.
Presenter(s): Joan C Arvedson, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: This session discusses challenges for the future as a combination of art and science as well as highlights areas of consensus and controversy in the many facets of practice that encompass pediatric feeding and swallowing.
Presenter(s): Julie A. Huffman, MA, CCC-SLP
Credit(s): PDHs: 2.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.2
Summary: This on demand webinar is a practical primer for SLPs who work with patients with dysphagia regardless of setting. The webinar explores the interrelationship between the oropharynx and the esophagus, reviews vital anatomy and physiology, discusses advocating with your interprofessional team about of the role of esophageal scans during videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS), and explains what to do when you suspect esophageal involvement as part of your patient's dysphagia.
Presenter(s): Paula Leslie, PhD, MA Bioethics, FRCSLT, CCC-SLP
Credit(s): PDHs: 2.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.2
Summary: Eating, drinking, and swallowing are individual actions that are central to identity and cultural participation. For many individuals, spirituality or religious preferences are important aspects of what gives their life meaning. This on demand webinar steps back from swallowing physiology to explore the interplay of eating, drinking, swallowing, and religious beliefs and practices.
Presenter(s): Heather M. Starmer, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Credit(s): PDHs: 2.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.2
Summary: SLPs are increasingly involved in the care of patients with head and neck cancer. While preventative dysphagia services are accepted as standard of care, many clinicians don't have the background in this population to determine how to best evaluate and treat patients prior to radiation. This on demand webinar covers what clinicians need to know to provide prehabilitative care-from justification to assessment to treatment to working within the multidisciplinary cancer care team.
Presenter(s): Marianne E Gellert-Jones, MA, CCC-SLP
Credit(s): PDHs: 2.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.2
Summary: This on demand webinar is designed for school-based SLPs who support children with complex oral feeding and swallowing needs. The speaker discusses the components of a robust feeding and dysphagia assessment, and how that assessment informs treatment decisions surrounding a student's feeding needs. The course examines effective and realistic goal development to address feeding needs within the IEP.
Presenter(s): Georgia A. Malandraki, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Credit(s): PDHs: 2.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.2
Summary: The use of telepractice for dysphagia management has increased dramatically due to the challenges of in-person practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this on demand webinar, the presenter will share step-by-step, evidence-based guidelines for the safe and reliable use of telehealth for dysphagia management in both pediatric and adult patients. The speaker will discuss legal safeguards, privacy and confidentiality considerations, technology infrastructure, clinician training and skills, facilitator training, and patient candidacy considerations. The webinar will include video case examples, problem-solving activities, and demonstrations of telepractice adaptations for clinical (bedside) swallowing evaluations and treatment sessions. During the webinar, the speaker will guide participants in the creation of a practical roadmap to implement telepractice with their patients with dysphagia.
Presenter(s): Mary Lee Casper, MA, CCC-SLP, FNAP; Aneesha Virani, PhD, CCC SLP
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: Due to the rapidly changing climate in dysphagia management, adhering to recent changes in billing and documentation standards and procedures can be challenging for SLPs. In this on demand webinar, speakers will identify common pitfalls and discuss strategies to meet expectations, so clinicians can avoid unethical decisions, prevent dings, and maximize local coverage for dysphagia reimbursement. The speakers will also illustrate how advocating for accurate representation in SLP billing and documentation supports clinician competency and patient outcomes. This webinar – part of the SIGnature Series – was developed by SIG 13: Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (Dysphagia).
