Normal Swallow
Presented by Carolyn Abraham, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, CLT
Video
Course: #11389Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course provides an overview of normal swallow kinematics and their permutations, along with a discussion of current evidence-based practice patterns for clinicians performing swallow studies. Discussion includes standardized measurement tools used in swallow study interpretation and key features that support accurate analysis and clinical recommendations. The course also emphasizes effective communication with patients and interdisciplinary team members who rely on these reports.

Radiation Safety and the SLP
Presented by Tom Giza, MS, CCC-SLP
VideoText
Course: #11239Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course provides speech-language pathologists with essential knowledge and best practices for maintaining radiation safety during the performance of video fluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS). The course discusses evidence-based strategies for timing and patient positioning, the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and an overview of current fluoroscopy and X-ray suite technologies. Emphasis is placed on minimizing radiation exposure while optimizing diagnostic outcomes.

Pediatric Swallow Studies: How Do They Impact Plans of Care?
Presented by Amber Valentine Forston, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, IBCLC, CNT
Video
Course: #11299Level: Intermediate1 Hour
As speech-language pathologists, we are responsible for ensuring safe and efficient swallowing across all populations. Modified Barium Swallow Studies (MBSS) and Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) are instrumental in developing comprehensive treatment plans for patients with dysphagia. While these assessment tools are widely utilized in adult settings, they remain underutilized in pediatric practice. This course reviews the advantages and limitations of each diagnostic procedure and discusses how these valuable assessment tools can enhance dysphagia services for pediatric populations.

FEES: Interpretation and Clinical Writing
Presented by Erika McLean, MS, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #10972Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Passing the scope in a (Flexible/Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing) FEES is easy; interpreting what we see once the scope is in place carries the weight of the study and requires the skill of a trained SLP. This course describes the anatomy as seen during FEES. How anatomy should function during a normal swallow, the physiologic deficits seen on FEES, and how to document normal and abnormal findings are also discussed.

Overview of Flexible/Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)
Presented by Molly Sloan, MA, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #10850Level: Introductory1.5 Hours
This course provides the SLP with resources to prove the medical necessity for swallow instrumentation. An overview of the FEES procedure based on medical literature is provided, including labeling anatomy, describing swallow function as viewed on FEES, and outlining the benefits/limitations of FEES. Examples of when FEES may be the ideal choice of instrumentation are also discussed.
