On this episode of the Swallier Pride podcast, we have Dr. Dina Ferguson. She is the owner of Tubes to Tables Incorporated with 24 years of clinical practice experience. Her research interest include assessing and treating premature infant feeding and swallowing differences and treating sensory-based feeding disorders.

In addition, she trains new clinicians and parents to conquer feeding issues in infants and toddlers.

Welcome to the Swallier Pride Podcast.

I'm your host Teresa Richard. I'm a board certified specialist in

Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders, a mobile-fuse business owner, and founder of the

MediC collective. This podcast is all about delivering the latest evidence-based practice to medical

SLPs everywhere. Whether you're a new clinician seeking tangible tools for treatment or a seasoned

vet stuck in a rut, my goal is to help ditch the old school ways of the past that no longer serve you or your patience, to reinvigorate your passion for our field, to broaden your knowledge about our scope of practice, and to inspire you to practice at the top of your license.

So if you're listening, I encourage you to swallow your pride, be open and willing to learn,

because let's face it.

Your patients deserve that kind of care.

With that, let's dive right in.
