Beyond the Valve
Taught by Rachael Silveira, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Beyond the Valve frames tracheostomy management through a readiness-based lens, challenging the assumption that speaking valve tolerance equates to progression. This session reviews tracheostomy fundamentals and supporting literature before exploring how SLP-driven interventions—including inline valve use, FEES, RMST, and capping—function as diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Overall, we will review how to safely advance airway, swallow, and communication outcomes.
