New research alert!
What does dysphagia assessment look like across the profession of speech-language pathology?

A recent survey of 520 U.S. SLPs revealed diverse approaches to dysphagia evaluation, highlighting both the growth of instrumental assessment and the opportunity to strengthen consistency across clinical practice. The findings support ongoing efforts to develop evidence-based protocols that can enhance clinical decision-making, promote best practices, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

The future of dysphagia care is built on collaboration, evidence, and continuous learning. Read the article here:

Patient motivation is not always about saying the right thing at the right time.

Often, it comes from helping someone understand what they are working toward, why it matters, and how progress will be recognized along the way. In therapy, engagement can grow when goals feel meaningful and progress feels visible.

What helps one patient stay committed may not help another, which is why thoughtful, individualized care matters so much.

As summer winds down, many clinics are shifting back into fuller schedules, new referrals, and a faster pace.

This time of year can be a good moment to pause and ask a simple question: what is helping your workflow, and what is making the day harder than it needs to be?

In dysphagia care, small things can make a real difference — clear documentation, practical tools, strong communication, and systems that support consistency from patient to patient.

A new season often brings a good opportunity to reset with intention.

Back-to-school season is here, and school SLPs are ramping up.

If you're heading back to the school setting this fall, remember that dysphagia doesn't take a summer break! Whether you're working with students managing swallowing difficulties alongside their academics or you're new to assessing feeding and swallowing in a school-based setting, objective measurement can help you communicate clearly with teachers, parents, and the IEP team about student progress.

One of the best investments you can make in your career isn't a conference or a certification - it's building genuine relationships with other SLPs in the field.

A colleague who understands the nuances of a difficult case, someone to bounce ideas off when you're stuck, a peer who celebrates your wins and listens when you're frustrated. These connections matter more than you might realize.

Whether it's through professional organizations, online communities, office hours, local meetups, or informal coffee chats - nurture these relationships. Ask questions. Share insights. Be the colleague you'd want to have.

Swallowing disorders can create real anxiety for patients. The fear of choking, concern about aspiration, worry about independence - these feelings are valid and they're also real barriers to progress.

Sometimes the therapeutic work isn't just about building tongue strength. It's about helping patients regain confidence in their own bodies, education that empowers rather than frightens, and celebrating small steps toward normalcy.

When patients feel heard and supported - not just corrected or warned - they're more likely to engage in therapy, take healthy risks, and trust the process. Your role as clinician includes being part therapist, part educator, part cheerleader.

What approach works best for managing patient anxiety in your practice?

There's something satisfying about equipment that just works. Year after year. Patient after patient. Reliable.

In healthcare, we're used to technology that needs constant updates, troubleshooting, and workarounds. However, some tools are built to be dependable. They don't require extensive maintenance or break down unexpectedly in the middle of a therapy session. They're there when you need them.

Equipment worth investing in pays for itself through reliability and longevity. As you're thinking about your fall equipment needs and budget planning, consider what tools will serve your clinic well for years to come. Want to find out which IOPI products best support your needs? Link in bio!

Summer break means some of you might have speech pathology students shadowing in your clinics. If you do, take a moment to appreciate the impact you're having on the next generation of SLPs.

The clinical wisdom you share, your problem-solving approach, how you talk to patients about their progress, the way you think through complex cases - students absorb all of it. You're doing more than just teaching dysphagia therapy, you're modeling what it means to be a thoughtful, evidence-based clinician who genuinely cares about patient outcomes.

If you're mentoring a student this summer, know that you're doing important work beyond direct patient care. You're shaping the future of the field!
