Welcome to Speech Talk, a podcast for SLPs who are hungry to stay on top of the latest research but don’t have the time to read it. Every other week, join hosts Emily and Eva, two working SLPs who have taken it upon themselves to dive into the data so you don’t have to. Together, they’re turning clinical studies into real-life solutions. From cognitive screening to medication management, adult neuro rehab to discharge planning, they break it all down with evidence, empathy, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. It’s smart, practical, and very real. It’s also, ahem, your new favorite podcast! — New Episodes Every Other Week —Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. 生物科学 科学 衛生・健康的な生活 身体的病い・疾患

    2025/06/17
    To PEG or not to PEG? In this episode of Speech Talk, Emily and Eva confront the clinical gray zones around percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placements in older adults. They unpack what PEG tubes actually do (and don’t do), their potential impact on malnutrition and aspiration pneumonia, and how to talk to families and care teams when emotions and ethics collide. You’ll also learn how to interpret key research on PEG tube outcomes and what guidelines say about feeding tubes in dementia. No guilt, no judgment—just smart, compassionate guidance from two SLPs who’ve had those hard conversations many times before. You’ll learn: What PEG tubes actually do—and what they don’t The research around PEG tubes and aspiration pneumonia How malnutrition, cognitive status, and goals of care intersect Conversation strategies for talking PEG with families and teams What professional guidelines say about PEG tubes in dementia How to navigate tricky ethical ground without losing compassion Articles Cited: ⁠Rahnemai-Azar et. al. “Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy: Indications, technique, complications and management⁠ Freebies: PEG Tube Badge Buddy Get in Touch: hello@speechtalkpod.com Or Visit Us At: ⁠www.SpeechTalkPod.com⁠ Instagram: @speechtalkpod Part of the Human Content Podcast Network Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Aphasia Month Bonus! QAB
    2025/06/10
    In honor of National Aphasia Awareness Month, we’re diving into a practical and research-supported tool that every clinician should know about—the Quick Aphasia Battery (QAB). If you’ve ever felt a little rusty when it comes to aphasia evaluation and treatment, this episode is for you. We break down the research by Lucanie et al., explain how the QAB can save you time while giving you a multidimensional view of language function, and discuss how to use it for goal writing and bridging the gap between screening and full evaluation. Plus, we reflect on why accessible, efficient tools like the QAB are exactly what clinicians need in fast-paced environments. You’ll learn: What aphasia is and how it affects communication The 8 subtests included in the Quick Aphasia Battery (QAB) How to use QAB results for goal setting and clinical documentation Limitations and considerations when using the QAB Where to access the QAB materials and automated scoring spreadsheet Articles Cited: Lucanie, M. et al. A Quick Aphasia Battery for Efficient, Reliable, and Multidimensional Assessment of Language Function.⁠ Resources: ⁠Quick Aphasia Battery Test Forms⁠ ⁠Quick Aphasia Battery Scoring Get in Touch: hello@speechtalkpod.com Or Visit Us At: ⁠www.SpeechTalkPod.com⁠ Instagram: @speechtalkpod Part of the Human Content Podcast Network Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Medication Management
    2025/06/03
    Eva and Emily dig into the intersection of cognitive impairment and medication management in older adults. Based on the study by Gorodesky et al., they explore how common cognitive errors—like perception failures and rule-based mistakes—impact a patient’s ability to read pill bottles, open containers, and organize medications. With hilarious patient stories and a toolbox of clinical tips (including the infamous pill-sorting task), this episode delivers realistic strategies for assessing med adherence, involving caregivers, and preventing rehospitalization. This one’s a must-listen for SLPs in skilled nursing, rehab, or any transitional care setting. You’ll learn: How cognitive impairments impact medication management performance The difference between knowledge-based, rule-based, and skill-based errors Why everyone (yes, everyone) makes pill-sorting mistakes Strategies for assessing pill bottle reading and pillbox use The role of cognitive screeners like Mini-Cog and MoCA Tips for caregiver training, transitions of care, and pharmacy-supported systems Article Referenced: Medication self-management skills and cognitive impairment in older adults hospitalized for heart failure” by Gorodeski et al.
