271 – Swallow Instrumentals Through a Critical Thinking Prism: Part 1 – Gavin Levy, MA, CCC-SLP

As a med SLP, you've likely received an instrumental report or two in your career. But what do you do when it leaves you with more questions than answers? My guest this week is asking me the tough questions on behalf of SNF (and every other setting that receives these reports) SLPs everywhere!

In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation unlike any other in SYP history with Gavin Levy, MA, CCC-SLP entitled, Swallow Instrumentals Through a Critical Thinking Prism.

After meeting at ASHA, Gavin brought up the idea of this conversation but was anticipating being a listener, not the interviewer. Once you listen, you'll agree that he was the best SLP for the job. Gavin asks some tough and stimulating questions that need to be asked of our field! He brings his passion, enthusiasm, genuine inquisitive nature, and desire to learn to this chat and leaves you eager for part two.

270 – Teletherapy for PFD: The Unexpected Tool That's Changing the Game

270 – Teletherapy for PFD: The Unexpected Tool That's Changing the Game

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.

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!

269 – Better Together: The SLP Council Initiative with Nikki Howell, CCC-SLP

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!

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!

In this episode, you'll hear about:
*The beginning of the MBSS Initiative
*How it has now transformed into an SLP Council
*Goals of the council
*How did Nikki find herself in a position to start the initiative?
*Resilience tips for SLPs
