Swallow Your Pride Podcast

The Swallow Your Pride Podcast was created with the purpose of diving deeper into the issues that speech-language pathologists face when working with patients with swallowing disorders. We’ll discuss many controversial topics in order to provide the LATEST evidence-based treatment strategies, and create a community of dysphagia clinicians who want to consume incredibly valuable insight and information. Our goal is to allow you to #swallowyourpride, and be open and willing to try the latest in evidence based treatment approaches by learning from experts and researchers in our field in order to create the best outcomes for our patients who need it most. The Swallow Your Pride Podcast is hosted by Theresa Richard, M.A., CCC-SLP, BCS-S, a Board Certified Specialist in Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders. Theresa has a unique way of spreading digestible, evidence-based information so that clinicians of all levels of experience can implement it with their patients immediately.

    342 – Ditch the Medical Jargon for This: Health Literacy Insights with Dr. Richard Zraick

    “Research shows that one out of two patients forgets half the information given to them within 24 hours, and the other half remembers it incorrectly.” ☝️This is just ONE of the many golden nuggets of information that today’s guest throws at us. The ability to explain complex medical information and recommendations to patients in a way that’s easy to understand is a true and necessary art, which is why we have Richard Zraick Ph.D., CCC-SLP, F-ASHA, CHSE from the University of Central Florida here to talk about it! In this week's episode, you’ll learn all about.. The two types of health literacy and how SLPs are involved in both How tools like ChatGPT can help clinicians create more accessible patient education materials A teaching method that, according to some studies, significantly reduces misunderstandings (and it only adds about 30 seconds to a clinical session.)  How to tackle poor health literacy from a multidisciplinary perspective Strategies YOU can adopt to reduce medical jargon and set patients up for greater long-term outcomes. *NOTE: October’s themed mission inside the Medical SLP Collective is Health Literacy! If you’re not yet a Collective member and want to join this month’s mission with actionable assignments to apply at your job, go to www.medslpcollective.com and enroll today!

    341 – The Complex World of Auditory Comprehension and Receptive Aphasia: Assessment, Treatment, and More

    You know those awkward moments where you can’t hear what someone is saying in a loud environment, so you just nod and agree to whatever they say? …hoping it makes sense to just nod and agree? As a medical SLP, odds are, you’ve worked with patients who have done this to you. Not because you’re providing therapy in a loud environment, but because they have receptive aphasia, or impaired auditory comprehension. While impaired speech and language is easy to pick up on, auditory comprehension is a whole different ballpark… Which is why we’re bring on our beloved aphasia & auditory comprehension MedSLP Collective mentor, Brett McCardel! Brett drops dozens of golden knowledge nuggets with us as he shares things like… What impaired auditory comprehension can look like (it really varies!) How auditory comprehension impacts quality of life The two ways we can classify auditory comprehension Assessment tools Treatment considerations And so much more!! If you serve people with aphasia at all, you won’t want to miss this episode! And if you want to dig EVEN DEEPER into your aphasia assessment and treatment skills, you might be interested in this month’s themed mission inside of the MedSLP Collective! We’re dedicating every resource, checklist, in-service, and webinar this month to aphasia - including aphasia in sign language!  Get the show notes here: https://syppodcast.com/341 Aphasia Therapy Approach (00:01:34) Changes in the Meta SLP Collective (00:02:50) Focus on New Resources (00:03:46) Implementation of Material (00:05:42) Diving into Auditory Comprehension (00:07:02) Understanding Auditory Comprehension (00:08:50) Challenges in Auditory Comprehension (00:10:05) Impact on Quality of Life (00:12:04) Classifying Auditory Comprehension Deficits (00:14:44) Assessment of Auditory Comprehension (00:15:35) Common Assessment Tasks (00:18:02) Auditory Processing Model Overview (00:19:13) Auditory Comprehension at Single Word Level (00:20:17) Treatment Approaches for Single Word Level (00:21:24) Research on Auditory Discrimination Skills (00:22:12) Awareness in Auditory Comprehension (00:23:46) Transition to Sentence Level Comprehension (00:25:24) Assessment Tools for Sentence Level (00:27:44) Treatment Strategies for Syntax and Morphology (00:29:21) Discourse Level Assessment (00:33:31) Compensatory Strategies for Discourse Level (00:35:52) AAC and Auditory Comprehension Support (00:36:54) Case Study on Auditory Comprehension (00:37:41) Understanding Auditory Comprehension (00:38:52) Life Participation Approach (00:39:51) Communication Environment Considerations (00:40:00) Functional Treatment Strategies (00:41:00) Holistic Aphasia Treatment (00:41:54)
