Summary

Today we’re excited to bring to you the 300th episode of the Swallow Your Pride Podcast 🎉

This week, Theresa Richard is bringing it back to the very reason this podcast came into existence 299 episodes ago: addressing the gap in dysphagia education and clinical practice.

Timothy Stockdale is this week’s special guest to discuss these gaps, what’s being done about it, and what other med SLPs should consider when growing their knowledge and skills. Timothy is a medical SLP and the Director of Education and Business Enablement for Aspire Respiratory Products, and he provides us with excellent insights and words of wisdom for SLPs wanting to do what’s best for those with swallowing disorders.

Tune in to dig deeper into dysphagia literature, patient autonomy, collaboration, holistic approaches to dysphagia therapy, respiratory muscle strength training, advocacy, and being vulnerable in our pursuit of knowing and doing better.
