Episode 13: Multidisciplinary Teams for Neurodegenerative Diseases & the SLP's Role with Lindsey Heidrick, SLPD - a podcast by Leigh Ann Porter, MA, CCC-SLP
from 2019-05-22T09:00
Dr. Lindsey Heidrick works on multidisciplinary teams for ALS, Parkinson’s Disease (PD), and MD (muscular dystrophy). In this episode, Lindsey describes the services she provides in each of these three separate clinics, who she collaborates with, and the benefits to the patient when they are seen as part of a multidisciplinary team.
It’s a truly eye opening perspective on a very different service delivery model that we, as SLPs, can provide and be a valuable tool within a neurologist’s outpatient office. Lindsey also covers emerging research regarding these populations. Other important topics: active listening, voice banking, collaboration with a dietician, and group voice therapy for PD.
