  • Just ok…. Theresa talks too much

    A lot of great information, however,

    Would be even better if the host rambled less and allowed her guests to actually speak. There are now better medical SLP podcasts out there.

Q: Can you talk about some of the different delivery models you've explored for cough suppression therapy (e.g., telehealth, group therapy, digital tools)?
Delivery models include telehealth for remote sessions, group behavioral therapy showing higher patient-reported outcomes, and digital therapeutics like online-based modules and cough-monitoring apps that support asynchronous training and monitoring.
401 – Stop Overcomplicating It: The Research Proving Cough Suppression Therapy Is Simpler Than You Think
Q: My understanding is that the majority of your research, your work is all focused on cough. How do you arrive at this?

398 – From Glasgow Coma Score of 2 to Certified Brain Injury Specialist: An SLPs Journey from Patient to Clinician

394 – Pressure, Pumps, and the UES:The Case for Pharyngeal Manometry in Clinical Practice
Q: What did the logistics look like for performing pharyngeal manometry in your clinic?
We described a catheter-based system passed transnasally with sensors, trained internal competencies for passing catheters, and the use of GI staff or trained techs to handle placement; in some settings numbing may be restricted by licensure, so non-numbed procedures are sometimes used, and the workflow aims to logistically minimize patient time to maximize efficiency and billing practicality.
