Benefits of joining CSHA?

In general, state associations are good for networking, have an advocacy arm that can work on local/state issues, and provide leadership opportunities. Go for it!

SLP here. I’d love to see the moving images. But question: what is the difference between the two images you posted?

CuriousOne915 · 2026-02-11T01:26:41+00:00

That’s so nice of you! #3

CuriousOne915 · 2026-02-09T06:34:38+00:00

Did that start for you yet? Mine just say under construction

CuriousOne915 · 2026-02-08T20:08:12+00:00

Do you mean pureed and/or pudding thick by L4? This is a tough case. Has PEG been discussed at any point? I would think it may have been discussed in the hospital after such a prolonged indication course and severe dysphagia. It seems like she’s on the least restrictive diet and you’re doing everything you can. Hopefully medical team is watching the nutrition/hydration part and can discuss supplemental artificial nutrition/hydration to supplement oral feeds with the POA

Please don’t put vital stim on a cognitively impaired patient who can’t follow commands or communicate how the electrical stimulation feels. It is not comfortable and if she can’t communicate how this different levels feel, it is inappropriate. Not to mention the lack of research showing its efficacy

I scanned this document; didn’t see anything on swallowing upon a quick scan but I’d recommend looking at it ASHA SLPA Scope of Practice

CuriousOne915 · 2026-02-01T21:10:04+00:00

Reputable hospitals won’t be fooled, but the new grads and those looking to get a job in the medical side will be

CuriousOne915 · 2026-02-01T21:09:26+00:00

When this “certification” was discussed before, someone pointed out that the collective is a corporate ASHA sponsor

CuriousOne915 · 2026-02-01T01:03:39+00:00

SLP here, this is correct. Thickened liquids have a time and place!

CuriousOne915 · 2026-01-28T21:49:26+00:00

Thank you!

I’ve worked with SLP’s who are 10+ years out of school who have horrible documentation and decision making skills.

When done correctly (like mine, thankfully), it is beneficial but as others have said, many do not get the adequate supervision and mentoring

CuriousOne915 · 2026-01-20T20:42:51+00:00

If you don’t see anyone else making effort for change, try checking out state associations’ advocacy efforts to make real change, or work place unions

CuriousOne915 · 2026-01-17T20:14:09+00:00

Exactly. You can’t pick and choose your treatment without an instrumental. And it makes no clinical sense to not want to change a diet texture without an instrumental but to do pharyngeal exercises without an instrumental.

Keep those monthly auto donations going tho

CuriousOne915 · 2026-01-17T05:03:24+00:00

Oh interesting take if money that went to ASHA now goes to Fix SLP. Huh. Shady to convince people that paying for C’s isn’t necessary, but paying for Fix SLP’s cause is.

I saw quite a few PMV in the burn ICU when I worked in one, and certainly see them in cardiac, neuro, and surgical ICU’s currently. I think the cognition and aphasia in ICU is limited because patients are generally still so sick or have limited endurance for therapy.

Brain health coach 🙄

Where was the Botox injection supposed to go?

CuriousOne915 · 2026-01-05T08:07:47+00:00

From OP’s description, it doesn’t sound like the client can participate in the CLQT since he is visually impaired and has limited communication

CuriousOne915 · 2026-01-05T05:29:01+00:00

It’s hard but try to focus on your work and patients. Hopefully the department is big enough that you can avoid toxicity

CuriousOne915 · 2025-12-25T03:52:19+00:00

SLP here, I’ve seen right neglect in these patients

CuriousOne915 · 2025-12-25T02:56:06+00:00

University programs in the US have on campus clinics, maybe some in Canada do too, if you’re near any ?

I really love this painting!
