Aspiration Pneumonia: How can we help?
Taught by George Barnes, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Aspiration pneumonia is complex, and risk extends beyond the presence of dysphagia or aspiration alone. This course explores the pathophysiology of pneumonia, key distinctions between bacterial aspiration pneumonia and chemical pneumonitis, and the multifactorial factors that influence pneumonia risk. Participants will examine evidence-based approaches to risk assessment and management, including swallowing rehabilitation, oral infection control, functional status, host resistance, and interprofessional strategies. The course provides clinicians with practical tools to better identify risk and develop comprehensive, individualized plans for medically complex adults.
Advancing Infant FEES Practice: Evidence, Clinical Reasoning, and Case-Based Application
Taught by Jenny Reynolds, PhD, CCC-SLP, CLC, CNT, BCS-S
This course advances the clinical application of Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) in infants by integrating current evidence, clinical reasoning, and case-based learning. Participants will explore key considerations for patient selection, procedural planning, and interpretation of physiologic swallowing findings during bottle and breastfeeding FEES examinations. Through real-world clinical cases, attendees will apply evidence-informed clinical reasoning to identify swallowing impairments, interpret findings within the broader medical and feeding context, and develop individualized recommendations to support safe, functional feeding and family-centered care.
