    If you’ve ever felt a little boggled by the talk If you’ve ever felt a little boggled by the talk of parameters, and placement, and the nitty-gritty of NMES, you will love this conversation where Dr. Matthew Dumican clears the muddied waters. In episode 247 of SYP, I have an enlightening conversation with Matt about all things NMES and he shares some major light bulb moments that will have you re-thinking all you’ve known about this modality for dysphagia patients. In this episode you’ll hear about: ⚡️What is NMES? ⚡️Is it the same as TENS? ⚡️What can NMES actually do for your patients? ⚡️What are parameters and how do they change treatment? Dr. Dumican is a researcher in this area of our field but is always a clinician first. Matt shares his experience, what he’s seen in patients utilizing NMES, and what the heck NMES even is (and isn’t) to begin with! . . . . . . #medslpcollective #ashaigers #dysphagia #feedingtherapy #instaslp #medicalprofessionals #medicalslp #medslp #slp2b #slp2be #slpbloggers #slpeeps #slpgradschool #slpgradstudent #slplife #slpmom #slpsofinstagram #slpstudent #slptobe #speechandlanguage #speechies #aac #speechlanguagepathologist #speechlanguagepathology #speechpathologist #speechpathologists #speechpathology #speechtherapy #speechtherapyideas #speechtherapylife

    Looking to get into the NICU or EI settings? My gu Looking to get into the NICU or EI settings? My guest this week is sharing her experience working with these populations and some of the newer challenges they’re facing. 👶As the opioid epidemic continues to devastate far too many lives, our youngest patients unfortunately are included in that. Erin Redle Sizemore, PhD, CCC-SLP is sharing how SLPs can help these children in the NICU and EI to set them up for success long term. 🧠She is a wealth of knowledge about Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) and what development looks like for these children. Erin shares ideas for providing the best care for this population and how we can best prepare SLP grad students to work with these patients. 🎓Dr. Sizemore also gives us a peek into what it’s like to start a brand new master’s program for SLPs (the tough and rewarding parts!) when she’s not serving her patients in the NICU! 💙She’s making such a massive impact on the future of our field, the patients we see, and the practices used. This conversation will leave you nothing short of awe-struck and inspired! . . . . . . . #medslpcollective #ashaigers #dysphagia #feedingtherapy #instaslp #medicalprofessionals #medicalslp #medslp #slp2b #slp2be #slpbloggers #slpeeps #slpgradschool #slpgradstudent #slplife #slpmom #slpsofinstagram #slpstudent #slptobe #speechandlanguage #speechies #aac #speechlanguagepathologist #speechlanguagepathology #speechpathologist #speechpathologists #speechpathology #speechtherapy #speechtherapyideas #speechtherapylife
