Pediatric Dysphagia and Progressive Disorders with Erin Forward

Guest: Erin Forward, MSP, CCC-SLP, CLC

In this episode, Michelle is once again joined by her favorite cohost, Erin Forward, MSP, CCC-SLP, CLC, as they tackle the tricky topic of progressive disorders and pediatric dysphagia. Palliative Care and Hospice are two words that are often avoided in the world of pediatrics; however, in honor of Pediatric Feeding Disorder Month, Michelle and Erin are going to have the crucial conversation regarding what a progressive pediatric disorder is, discuss three more prevalent progressive disorders, and then discuss our role in the evaluation and treatment process. While the topic may be difficult to address, remember that we are called to serve the least of these and to infuse joy and evidence-based practice into their care.
