Session: SC12
3 Hrs

Level: Intermediate Type: Research Submission
Presented by: Swathi Kiran, Boston U; Julius
Fridriksson, U of South Carolina
This session is developed by, and
presenters invited by, Language
Disorders in Adults. In this presentation,
studies that explain the mechanisms
of neuroplasticity will be discussed.
While functional neuroimaging studies
have demonstrated which brain regions
may be important for recovery and
rehabilitation induced reorganization,
understanding the brain as a network
of gray and white matter regions that
integrate functions may be more
informative. This lecture will focus on
how aphasia rehabilitation induces
changes in network connectivity and how
such findings may influence the actual
treatment of aphasia.

SWALLOWING AND SWALLOWING
DISORDERS (SLP)
Mechanical Ventilation & its Aftermath:
Assessing Oral Feeding Safety in
Patients Receiving Respiratory Support
FR 8:30AM-11:30AM
Marriott/Georgia 1/2

Session: SC13
3 Hrs

Level: Intermediate Type: Professional Education
Presented by: James Coyle, U of Pittsburgh; Dana
Novotny, UPMC Presbyterian; Martin Brodsky,
Johns Hopkins U; Emily Mayfield, Mercy Med Ctr
This session is developed by, and
presenters invited by, Swallowing and
Swallowing Disorders and SIG 13:
Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders
(Dysphagia). Critical illness necessitates
life‑saving measures like mechanical
ventilation (MV). After extubation many
patients using supportive respiratory
devices are referred to the SLP for
assessment of swallowing safety. This
course will summarize the mechanics
and aftermath of MV, and review how
respiratory support devices work and
may affect swallowing safety across
the lifespan.

SHORT COURSES * FRIDAY

This session is developed by, and
presenters invited by, SIG 2: Neurogenic
Communication Disorders and
Interprofessional Education and Practice.
Using a case study approach, this
course will outline common cognitive
and behavioral sequelae in pediatric
acquired brain injury and introduce a
multi‑specialty approach to addressing
common concerns including executive
function deficits. Treatment perspectives
will be offered from speech‑language
pathology, occupational therapy, physical
therapy and behavioral psychology.
Further, we will discuss the benefits
of working with a child's school team,
coordinating care among medical
and school staff, toward continued
rehabilitation of the pediatric patient.

mood disorders with several speech and
hearing disorders. Mindfulness‑based
therapies (MBTs), in conjunction with
standard‑of‑care, may assist in setting and
achieving individualized treatment goals.
We will illustrate MBT use in tinnitus
management, provide an overview
of applications for mindfulness and
mindfulness‑based therapies, conduct
in‑session exercises to encourage
experiential learning, and examine the
applicability of such therapies to a variety
of communication disorders.
