PROGRAM SESSIONSTH 2:00PM-3:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/238-239 Swallowing Outcomes Following IMRT for Head & Neck Cancer Justin Roe, Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, London; Raghav Dwivedi, Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, London; Rehan Kazi, Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, London; Paul Carding, Newcastle upon Tyne Hosp NHS Foundation Trust, Newcastle upon Tyne; Peter Rhys-Evans, Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, London; Kevin Harrington, Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust/ Inst of Cancer Research, London; Chris Nutting, Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, London Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is used to optimize dose distributions that conform to the tumor target while minimizing the dose to surrounding structures and providing an opportunity for dose escalation to the tumor. The aim of this presentation is to review advances in radiotherapy techniques for head and neck cancers and how IMRT aims to improve swallowing outcomes. This will include a review of the literature relating to IMRT and swallowing outcomes. TH 3:30PM-4:30PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/392 Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant & Feeding Disorders Jessica Buringrud, Cincinnati Children's Hosp Med Ctr, Cincinnati, OH; Erin Redle, Cincinnati Children's Hosp, Cincinnati, OH; Sarah Cowen, U of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH This study retrospectively identified possible contributing factors to the development of feeding disorders and/or oral aversion in children during and after bone marrow transplant (BMT). Identifying factors for children at risk for feeding disorders during the BMT process will allow for possible prevention, earlier diagnosis, and better treatment to reduce the risk of a feeding disorder 100+ days after the BMT has been completed. TH 1:00PM-3:00PM, Seminar 2 HR, CC/Ballroom AB Dysphagia Associated With Rare & Complex Conditions Harrison Jones, Duke U, Durham, NC; John Rosenbek, U of Florida, Gainesville, FL; Teresa Brobeck, Rehab Hosp of Southern New Mexico, Las Cruces, NM; James Coyle, U of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA; Gerardo Gutierrez, South Texas VA, San Antonio, TX; Jacqueline Hind, U of Wisconsin, Madison, WI; Cathy Lazarus, Bellvue Hosp Ctr, New York, NY; Paula Leslie, U of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA; Roger Newman, Royal Preston Hosp, Preston (GB); JoAnne Robbins, U of Wisconsin, Madison, WI; Paula Sullivan, Malcolm Randall VAMC, Gainesville, FL This session was developed by the Convention Program Committee. Adult onset and pediatric dysphagia occur in a wide range of disorders. Many of these disorders are considered to be rare and may have unexpected onset, signs and symptoms, and treatment options. It is important for the speech-language pathologist to be aware of these disorders in order to make the appropriate differential diagnosis. This session will present a review of these dysphagia disorders, case illustrations, and panel discussion. TH 11:00AM-11:15AM, Technical, CC/297 Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Infants & Children With Infantile Pompe Disease Harrison Jones, Duke U, Durham, NC; Carolyn Muller, Duke U, Durham, NC; Gwendolyn O'Grady, Duke U, Durham, NC; Min Lin, Duke U, Durham, NC; James Heller, Duke U, Durham, NC; Suhrad Banugaria, Duke U, Durham, NC; Pryia Kishnani, Duke U, Durham, NC Infantile Pompe disease is a rare gentic progressive neuromuscular disorder. Clinical experience suggests that oropharyngeal dysphagia occurs commonly, though systematic studies of swallow function in this population is lacking. We completed a retrospective study of oropharyngeal swallow function using videofluoroscopy in 13 children with this condition. Oral stage signs were present in 11 (85%). Pharyngeal stage signs were present in all subjects, including penetration in 38% and aspiration in 38%. spEECh-LanguagE pathoLogY Thursday, november 19, 2009 TH 1:00PM-3:00PM, Seminar 2 HR, CC/395 Evidence-Based Approach to Rehabilitation of Speech/Swallowing Following Glossectomy Jan Lewin, U of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Ctr, Houston, TX This seminar will discuss the complex management and treatment of speech and swallowing dysfunction following partial, hemi, and total glossectomy. Presenters will highlight the speech-language pathologist's role in preoperative counseling, acute care. and outpatient intervention. Participants will be provided with a road map that can be utilized to direct clinicians through this complex and at times frustrating care plan. Case studies will be presented. TH 3:30PM-5:30PM, Seminar 2 HR, CC/238-239 Dysphagia After Radiotherapy: What Causes It? What Treatments Work? Gintas Krisciunas, Boston U Med Ctr, Boston, MA; Susan Langmore, Boston U Med Ctr, Boston, MA; Jared Schultz, Boston U Med Ctr, Boston, MA; Keri Vasquez-Miloro, Genesis Rehab Svcs, Boston, MA; Katherine Stepas, Boston U Med Ctr, Boston, MA; Olga Podluzhnaya, Boston U Med Ctr, Boston, MA Dysphagia after radiotherapy for head and neck cancer is common. This presentation will intertwine best evidence from the literature with original research done by the presenters to elucidate the mechanisms of radiationinduced dysphagia to identify the best predictors of poor swallowing outcomes after XRT, to summarize a survey done of standard practice, and to evaluate the efficiacy of various swallow therapies for patients during and after XRT. TH 11:15AM-11:30AM, Technical, CC/297 Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study Practices in Pediatric Dysphagia Katherine Viars, Med U of South Carolina, Charleston, SC; Shannon Torres, Med U of South Carolina, Charleston, SC; Kelly MacDonald, Med U of South Carolina, Charleston, SC; Kate Humphries, Med U of South Carolina, Charleston, SC; Laura Draize, Med U of South Carolina, Charleston, SC; Amy Hartenburg, Med U of South Carolina, Charleston, SC; Maureen Lefton-Greif, Johns Hopkins U Sch of Med, Baltimore, MD; Bonnie MartinHarris, Med U of South Carolina, Charleston, SC Survival of pre-term infants results in increased incidence of feeding/swallowing disorders and videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS). This study describes SLP VFSS practice patterns in bottle-fed infants. Eighty SLPs responded to a Web-based survey. Participants were asked to comment on administration, consistencies, protocol, and interpretation. Wide variability in VFSS practice patterns was identified. Results indicate a need for standardization of swallowing assessment for improved safety, accuracy, and reporting of exams across clinical settings. TH 1:00PM-3:00PM, Seminar 2 HR, CC/296 Medically Complex Pediatric & Adult Patients in Home Health Michele L. Norman, Longwood U, Farmville, VA; Yolanda G. Fields, Longwood U, Farmville, VA; Linda Dean, Star Trach Educators, LLC, Rixeyville, VA Managing patients with multiple diagnoses can be challenging in the home environment. Speech-language pathologists find challenges in transitioning medically complex patients from other settings to the home and training their caregivers to maintain prescribed therapeutic interventions. This session will provide practical tips and intervention strategies functional adaptations for managing pediatric and adult patients with medically complex conditions that include tracheostomy and dysphagia to promote compliance toward a more successful transition to the home environment. TH 3:30PM-5:30PM, Seminar 2 HR, CC/395 Problem Solving Difficult & Challenging Pediatric Dysphagia Cases Claire Kane Miller, Cincinnati Children's Hosp Med Ctr, Cincinnati, OH; Rita Bailey, Illinois St U, Normal, IL; Donna Scarborough, Miami U, Oxford, OH; Jeanne Saavedra, St. Louis Children's Hosp, St. Louis, MO; Memorie Gosa, LeBonheur Children's Med Ctr/U of Memphis, Memphis, TN; Kara Fletcher Larson, South Shore Hosp, Weymouth, MA The origin of problems with pediatric feeding and swallowing can sometimes be traced to events that occur during embryologic development, to prematurity, or to genetic conditions. Alternatively, identifying the etiologies of problems may be elusive, and careful consideration of possible causes and mechanisms of pediatric dysphagia is essential in the evaluation phase. Insight into the causes and mechanisms of pediatric dysphagia provides the necessary foundation for development and provision of effective, evidence-based treatment. TH 11:30AM-11:45AM, Technical, CC/297 Nursing Perspectives of Readiness to Bottle Feed in Preterm Infants Gilson Capilouto, U of Kentucky, Lexington, KY; Mary Insana Fisher, U of Dayton, Dayton, OH; Donald Granger, Kentucky Children's Hosp, Lexington, KY; Kathy Isaacs, Kentucky Children's Hosp, Lexington, KY; Katie Joyner, U of Kentucky, Lexington, KY Safe and efficient feeding is a critical milestone for the preterm infant. Nurses are often primary feeders working with SLPs to assure safe and successful feeding. A series of focus groups was conducted to investigate nursing perspectives regarding feeding readiness, feeding success, and progression to full oral feeds in preterm infants. Results were coded for common themes and used to develop a theoretical model of nurse practice related to bottle feeding in preterm infants. ASHA 2009 x Exhibits & pro gr am sEssions guidE
