Course: #11119Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Above Cuff Vocalization (ACV) enables patients with tracheostomy and mechanical ventilation to produce audible voice with an inflated cuff, reducing anxiety and enhancing quality of life. This course reviews evidence on ACV's benefits for communication and swallowing, and outlines steps for successful implementation. This course is presented in partnership with Atos Medical.

Dysphagia Education in SNFs: Effective Partnering With Non-SLP Staff
Presented by Gopika Shah, M.A., CCC-SLP
Live WebinarTue, Feb 25, 2025 at 3:00 pm EST
Course: #11137Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course addresses the challenges of managing dysphagia in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), focusing on the impact of limited dysphagia awareness among staff. It provides practical strategies to enhance staff knowledge and engagement. The course discusses effective methods for educating non-SLP staff and fostering collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, all while prioritizing clinical considerations. By applying these strategies, participants can improve patient care, optimize treatment outcomes, and mitigate staff frustration and burnout.

Text
Course: #11105Level: Advanced2.5 Hours
This course is based on the textbook Adult Dysphagia Clinical Reasoning and Decision-Making Guide, a practical guide for clinicians who evaluate and treat swallowing disorders. The book employs the clinical process to guide critical thinking that will assist in clinical decision-making. It serves as a resource for speech-language pathologists in developing situation-based assessments and treatment plans.

Beyond Swallowing: Integrating Ethics and Palliative Care for Patient-Centered Dysphagia Management
Presented by Mechelle Motsinger, MA, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #11073Level: Intermediate1.5 Hours
This course discusses how SLPs can navigate scenarios when patients decline conventional dysphagia recommendations. How to discuss goals of care with patients and caregivers, compare conventional and palliative dysphagia management techniques, and use a decision tree for real-world guidance, leading to two distinct care pathways are also described.

Dining Well with Dementia: This Is a Lot to Swallow!

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.
