About

I'm here to help you improve patient outcomes, and be a respected member of your interdisciplinary team.

Theresa Richard is a medical speech-language pathologist and Board Certified Specialist in Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders. While owning and operating a mobile FEES business, she discovered that a gap existed from research to practice in the clinical knowledge of medical SLPs. As a result, she created the Swallow Your Pride podcast which debuted at #11 on the Science and Medicine chart and currently has over 3 million downloads. She has been an invited keynote speaker for several conventions, has served as President of the Nevada Speech & Hearing Association, and has been a featured columnist in Authority Magazine, Medium, and Thrive Global.

Theresa continues to work tirelessly to advocate for patients with swallowing disorders and was recently been invited to contribute to 2 published papers for Dysphagia – the journal for swallowing and swallowing disorders. The articles on assessing and treating dysphagia during COVID were published in 2021. The recent release of her new book for patients with dysphagia called “So You’re Having Trouble Swallowing,” is an Amazon and Barnes & Noble best seller.

Theresa is the founder and CEO of the Medical SLP Collective which currently has over 6,000 members. The Medical SLP Collective provides editorially-reviewed resources, webinars for ASHA CEUs, and expert mentorship. She also created MedSLP Education which provides solid foundational medical courses exclusively for SLPs along with a Medical SLP Certification program.

So rarely do you get to embrace and endorse a text that is truly for patients and comes from the soul…

-Giselle Carnaby, M.P.H, Ph.D., SLP-CCC, FASHA, HONORS

“...This book helps detail what is available in the evaluation and care of patients with swallowing, what patients/families should look for or avoid, and where to find resources. More importantly, this information is offered to the reader in an easy to digest, understandable format! Kudos to Theresa for offering us an essential resource.”"

BEST SLP PODCAST OUT THERE!

I’m currently in my senior year of my undergrad, applying to grad schools and with covid, it’s been especially hard to stay motivated in the major since everything is remote for me atm. I decided to listen to this podcast on a whim, and the amount of passion and helpful advice brought to the table made me once again fall in love with what I’ll be doing in the future. You guys are AMAZING!

Theresa makes Dysphagia Sexy...nothing we ever thought possible in grad school

-KissMyBook

After grad school, I took some time off with my young children. I am currently knee deep as a CF in a pediatric clinic, but was wanting to stay current in the swallowing field. Theresa has made this possible! Even though pediatric language and speech is currently my jam, I am able to continue to receive EVIDENCE BASED information during my commute. I always knew research was important, but Theresa has literally helped me fall in love with it. Thanks for keeping me company and filling the world with Evidence Based goodness.

An online course for SLPs who want to start or scale their own profitable and sustainable mobile FEES business.
