  • Excellent!

    I always enjoy Renée’s presentation style and topics in her podcasts. I was particularly impressed with The Social Brain Toolkit. What a coup to interview the panel of international therapist on such an important topic. It is an excellent resource for communication partners.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Life After a Brain Tumor with Ana Hernandez
Q: What was that recovery like in the space from one month out going back to work, and then one year later, before you started any therapy?
Hernandez says recovery was gradual, with the first several months feeling like the steepest climb. She managed sensory overload and daily tasks with routines and strategies, later choosing executive-function therapy when she recognized she needed help.
Life After a Brain Tumor with Ana Hernandez
Q: Can you give us a background on what happened? Did you have symptoms?
Hernandez describes developing increasingly frequent migraines and then experiencing sudden memory, vision, and communication difficulties at work before having a seizure. An MRI revealed a large central neurocytoma, and she underwent emergency brain surgery.
The Overlooked Challenge of Medication Swallowing with Katie Decker
Q: how do you ask about pill dysphagia in an initial evaluation?
Ask about how patients take their pills, what they take them with, when they take them, and how it goes, including duration and any regimen-specific patterns, to uncover both physical and psychological factors.
The Overlooked Challenge of Medication Swallowing with Katie Decker
Q: can you tell us what pill dysphagia is?
Pill dysphagia is a general term for difficulty swallowing pills that can occur across the lifespan and may be related to dysphagia or can occur as a standalone issue; the key is understanding the underlying causes and how to approach evaluation and management.
How Communication Disorders Affect Healthcare with Hilary Sample
Q: What brought you to the field?
Hilary describes a winding path from opera singing to speech-language pathology, motivated by a personal family connection to neurogenic communication disorders and a realization that she could help people through effective communication strategies.
