On this episode of the Swallier Pride Podcast, we have Rebecca Altoonian.

She is the founder of saliva systems and the inventor of the SWIC oral suction system.

Rebecca is passionate about elevating care for those with swallowing disorders.

Rebecca Altoonian is a patented inventor with a passion to elevate the standard of care for those suffering from dysphagia when it comes to managing oral secretions.

Rebecca is the founder of the SWIC oral suction system.

The device was born out of personal need as a patient and as she approaches this endeavor with the

patient's care in the forefront. Rebecca has created a dynamic and diverse team

to help bring this novice device to market. She is a mother of three daughters,

a small business owner and entrepreneur.

Being part of the speech pathology world from an onlooker, Rebecca is always continually impressed with the passion and compassion from those in this field.

She is honored to be able to be in the company of the SLP community

and looks forward to offering a novel solution

to help the wonderful community service patients in a better way.

In her spare time, Rebecca loves bicycling, meditation, and spending time with her daughters. I just love this conversation. 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 Med-SLP 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 patients 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.
