Speech Scope Episode 28: Dysphagia Mythbusting: How Do We Facilitate QoL With Compromise?

<a href="https://www.medbridge.com/about/instructor/amber-heape" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Dr. Amber Heape, ClinScD, CCC-SLP, CDP</a>, joins host <a href="https://www.medbridge.com/about/instructor/sarah-baar-speech-language-pathology" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Sarah Baar </a>to unpack some of the most common and controversial myths surrounding dysphagia management in residential care. Drawing from over two decades of clinical leadership and teaching experience, Amber and Sarah challenge long-held assumptions about compliance, patient choice, and what truly supports quality of life. Together, they explore how clinicians can shift from fear-based decision-making to evidence-informed, person-centered care. Tune in as we navigate the gray areas of dysphagia practice and explore what it really means to compromise for the sake of dignity and autonomy.
