Speech pathologists attend conference
Five speech pathologists at Lawrence Memorial Hospital – Lynn Murphy, Lisa Graves, Trena Rausch, Michelle Eaton and Beth Ann Bittlingmeyer – recently attended a conference, “Identifying Anatomy and Swallow Disorders from Videofluorography and Treatment Planning.”
The conference was provided by the Northern Speech Services Inc. and National Rehabilitation Services.
The course provided experience in reading anatomy and physiology of normal and abnormal swallows from modified barium swallows. It also provided the latest research on penetration and aspiration as well as practice in planning interventions immediately in X-ray and therapy after the radiographic study for oral and pharyngeal swallow disorders.
