Episode 2: Neurodegenerative Disease and Dysphagia

  • Summary

  • Guests: Maggie Donaker, MS CCC-SLP & Katie Gollin, MS CCC-SLP - To honor Dysphagia Awareness Month, we have linked up with the Dysphagia Outreach Project to speak to some of their amazing leaders and spread their expertise and knowledge as far as possible! We are bringing you this ten-part podcast series and today's focus is neurodegenerative dysphagia. To help us understand these important subjects we are joined by Maggie Donaker and Katie Gollin, who give us some great insight, focusing on three of the main conditions under this umbrella: ALS, Parkinson's disease, and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Maggie is a medical speech-language pathologist, who has been awarded seven ASHA ACE awards! As a young medical speech-language pathologist, Katie currently works full-time in the acute care setting, with experience in inpatient rehab and skilled nursing too. In today's exploration we get some great high level, as well as specific information on these three topics, with our guests introducing each and also sharing some personal experiences and advice on diagnoses, treatments, and education. It is particularly illuminating to hear about how these conditions affect adults, with so much of what we usually do focusing on younger ones! So for a great show, packed with useful information and helpful tips and thoughts, be sure to join us!
