SHOW NOTES

Introduction

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with podcast host and pediatric dysphagia expert, Michelle Dawson!

In this episode, we discuss important considerations when a client with pediatric dysphagia is on your caseload, her top 5 tips for treating pediatric dysphagia, and what you can find on her podcast called First Bite.

Michelle and I decided to do a podcast swap. You can catch my interview on her First Bite podcast, and I am happy to share her interview on Speechie Side Up.

She is a past president for her state speech and hearing association (An SSU first!) and just a wealth of knowledge when it comes to evidenced based practice for pediatric dysphagia. I know you’ll love the tips that she shares in this episode!
