SLP Nerdcast offers ASHA CEUs through “podcast learning.” We discuss clinical issues and best practices relevant to speech and language pathologists. We review resources and literature while trying to not bore you to tears. Who are we? We are two speech language pathologists (one dually certified BCBA) who met several years ago and became kindred spirits in nerdiness and sci-fi fantasy books - but that’s a topic for a different podcast. We enjoy reading, thinking, and discussing speech language pathology topics. We are lifelong learners and clinicians with over 30 years combined experience working with individuals who have complex communication needs across a range of settings including outpatient, private practice, public schools, and private schools. We are NOT PhDs, researchers, or particularly fancy people, but we are clinicians (nerds) who care deeply about the individuals and families we support, and we value using evidence to get us to a place of success. We will always provide a handful of references or resources and we of course love to get feedback. You can email us anytime at [email protected]. Tell us what you liked, that you think we’re a snooze fest, or if there is a topic you'd like us to cover.

Episode Summary
Dɪsfeʒə? Dɪsfɑʒə? Təmeto, təmɑto? That is one of the many questions tackled in this week’s episode with Dr. Lindsey Griffin, a leading professional in the field of adult dysphagia and assistant professor at Emerson College in Boston. For those of you not practicing in the field of swallowing, this episode will certainly ring some grad school bells as Dr. Griffin walks us through some swallowing bascs that include a refresher on the phases of swallowing and some tried and true strategies to support individuals with swallowing challenges (You guys remember the good ol’ chin tuck, right?). Working in this area of our field already? You’ll enjoy some powerful discussions on evidence-based, person-centered decision-making in dysphagia practice amongst several remaining resource and research limitations.
Listen in and learn about the difference between restorative exercises and compensatory strategies, the why and how of tailoring intervention techniques to an individual’s physiological impairments, and the role of technology in dysphagia care. You will no doubt find yourself following along with the maneuvers discussed, just make sure to swallow your coffee first!
So, grab a plate of “minced and moist” snack foods and cozy up with Kate, Amy and Dr. Griffin for some nerdy swallow chat! You can learn more about Dr. Griffin here.

Episode Summary
Ever feel under-equipped to deal with the counseling demands that often pop up in your daily SLP work? You’re not alone! So much of what we do as SLP’s is “grief work” and many of us find ourselves in over our heads at times with the counseling needs of our clients or students and their families. This week, Kate and Amy capitalize on their “forced friendship” with Beverly Montgomery of Lex Communicate to talk about the power of alliances with mental health professionals in addressing the holistic needs of individuals with communication differences and the caregivers who support them. Beverly discusses how mental health needs touch each case we serve and offers actionable suggestions for how Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Interprofessional Practice (IPP) can help us go beyond due diligence and realize better outcomes for those we serve. Tune in to explore which mental health professionals may be unexpected allies and obtain some simple strategies to help you manage these powerful relationships when scopes of practice overlap. Our clients and students are so complex, you may often feel that you “have a flashlight when you need a flood light” to recognize all of the facets that compose client and family needs. Beverly’s approach to interdisciplinary practice Illuminates the complexities of your toughest cases. If you find “other stuff” getting in the way of therapeutic progress for your clients or students, this is the episode for you.
Learning Outcomes
State the purpose(s) and benefit(s) of interprofessional collaboration
Define Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Interprofessional Practice (IPP)
Describe a decision-making process for when and how to make mental health referrals
Identify a variety of collaborative partners both within and outside their organization
