US Public Health Services Part 2, Lee Silverman Training, and Monitoring

Michelle is 3 weeks into her new move and continues to unbox everything in the new home.  Michael was able to return to Long Island for the weekend to see family before the school year starts up.  Matt has had to navigate the Ohio Department of Education’s website to renew a license and he continues to digitize his classroom just in case he has to go virtual.     

On today’s show, we discuss if you should be using the Lee Silverman Voice Training for patients with Parkinson's and why our use of a numerical pain scale may be wrong.  Michelle sat down with the United States Public Health Services Speech and Language Pathologists for this week’s interview.  This week’s Informed SLP looks at testing options for Mild Cognitive Impairment.  We also look at our SSPOD Shoutouts and Due Process.  The ASHA spotlight is about the resources available to improve our therapy toolboxes. 

 

The Discord is up and ready for people to interact with the crew 24/7 with a new website, www.discord.speechsciencepodcast.com.

SSPOD Shoutout: Do you know an SLP who deserves a digital fist bump or shout out?  We want to know your #SSPODSHOUTOUT, which is recognition for someone doing something awesome somewhere.    

 

SSPOD Due Process:  Do you have a complaint or need to vent, then you want to participate in the #SSPODDUEPROCESS. 

 

Topic #1:    Through the use of LSVT, patients were able to describe the impact of Parkinson's on their voice and were able to discuss the characteristics of functional communication.  How should we be using LSVT and does it meet the requirements for Evidence-Based Practice?

 

Topic #2:     Pain can interrupt our brain's ability to understand numeric spatial awareness.  Should we continue to be using a number scale or move to pictures?

 

Interview: Part 2 of a 2 part interview series looking at the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Services and what being a Speech and Language Pathologist serving on the front lines of Public Health.  Special thanks to the following Speech and Language Pathologists who have participated in the interview:
