The Ethics Of Swallowing In Older Adults At High Risk #e333

Presenter: George Barnes, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S

SLPs recommend modifying consistencies more than ANY other type of intervention. When we are really concerned, we recommend NOTHING by mouth. Most SLPs think this approach works. But does it? This course delves into the facts behind NPO status and overly restrictive diet modification measures and offers a guideline that can help medically complex patients.... more+

Mild Cognitive Impairment: Early Indicators And Clinical Interventions #e237

Presenter: Kathryn Bayles, PhD, CCC-SLP (Retired)

We went to so many doctors (pediatricians, allergists, 3 ENTs, immune system doctors). Nobody caught the EOE, despite what I know now to be classic symptoms. We finally figured it out at age 12. We tried more testing, diets, and medications to no avail. At age 14, he went on Neocate and no food for 6 weeks and finally saw remission. At age 14, he was 4'11" and 90 pounds. 18 months later, he was 5'7" and 135 pounds. We still struggle with picky/slow eating. This will be helpful." (Jan. 2022)

"I really enjoyed this course. It really helped me understand how to expand children's diets using their current food preferences. The entire content was wonderful, as well as the case studies and examples. So helpful!"  A.C. (Jan. 2022)
