Dance, Jr Head & Neck Center, Johns Hopkins Head & Neck Surgery & GBMC; Julie Blair, Med U of South Carlolina; Tessa Goldsmith, Massachusetts General Hosp; Ryan Sobel, Johns Hopkins Head and Neck Surgery at Greater Baltimore Medical Center; Annie Chan, Massachusetts General Hosp This session is developed by, and presenters invited by, Swallowing/Feeding and Associated Disorders. This interprofessional session will discuss the evolution and revolution of diagnosis and treatment of patients with head and neck cancer. We will describe advances in surgical and chemoradiation modalities as well as the speech pathologists’ role in the management of functional swallowing and communication outcomes. The session will focus on current evidence-based interventions along the continuum of care. 1041  Pediatric Feeding Disorders: Successful Mentorship, Resources & Evidence-Based Practice TH 10:15AM-12:15PM / CC, 211 (Lvl 2) Intermediate; Prof Educ AUTHOR(S): Jennifer D’Attilio, Central Coast Language & Learning Ctr; Courtney Long, Central Coast Lang & Learning Ctr/Laurie Ross- Brennan & Assocs Pediatric feeding is an integral part of Speech Pathology practice, yet requires strong mentorship to ensure positive outcomes for children and families. This course will illustrate key components of a successful inpatient/ outpatient feeding mentorship program. Participants will describe and execute models of mentorship, identify resources, utilize training tools and scaffold clinician autonomy in the area of pediatric feeding disorders. 1042  Penetration or Aspiration on VFSS? Not Pass or Fail TH 10:15AM-12:15PM / CC, 258ABC (Lvl 2) Intermediate; Prof Educ AUTHOR(S): Maureen Lefton-Greif, Johns Hopkins U Sch of Medicine; Joan Arvedson, Children’s Hosp of Wisconsin – Milwaukee This session focuses on best evidence for SLPs to interpret findings of penetration-aspiration on VFSS or FEES for children presenting with complicated and high-risk conditions. SLPs must understand radiologic findings in the context of underlying conditions to make recommendations that facilitate functional feeding. This session will review pulmonary and neurologic conditions and provide cases to illustrate decision-making for optimal goals. 1043  What’s Wrong With My Patient? Lungs, Brains, & Moving our Profession into the Future TH 10:15AM-12:15PM / CC, 205ABC (Lvl 2) Intermediate; Prof Educ AUTHOR(S): James Coyle, U of Pittsburgh The medical record needs to be thoroughly understood by the dysphagia practitioner to enable informed clinical decision-making. The clinician also needs to present themselves as knowledgeable and competent in areas far beyond those presented in our academic programs. The session will review the nature of pulmonary and neurological diseases, and encourage SLP’s to practice at the top of their license. TELEPRACTICE AND TECHNOLOGY (GI) 1044  Bridging the Gap: Leveraging Telepractice Technology to Improve Access to Auditory Verbal Services TH 10:15AM-12:15PM / CC, 162AB (Lvl 1) Intermediate; Prof Educ AUTHOR(S): Elizabeth Rosenzweig, Private Practice This session is developed by, and presenters invited by, Telepractice and Technology. Bridging the Gap will equip attendees with the knowledge and skills necessary to leverage new technologies to improve access to auditory verbal services for underserved families of children with hearing loss. The session will investigate the adaptation of auditory verbal intervention to telepractice, explore teletherapy session examples, and discuss solutions for capacity-building in this field. 1045  Considerations When Incorporating Tablet- Based Programs in Aphasia Rehabilitation TH 10:15AM-12:15PM / CC, 254B (Lvl 2) Intermediate; Prof Educ AUTHOR(S): Emily Dubas, Constant Therapy; Sofia Vallila-Rohter, MGH Inst In this professional education session, we aim to discuss (1) some of the technology-based therapies currently available for rehabilitation in aphasia, (2) the factors that contribute to outcomes when technology is incorporated into therapy for people with aphasia, and (3) recent research examining how familiarity with technology and strategy development might influence treatment outcomes for technology- based therapies. TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (GI) 1046  The Utility of the Clock Drawing Test TH 10:15AM-12:15PM / CC, 256 (Lvl 2) Intermediate; Prof Educ AUTHOR(S): Michelle Dehgan, TIRR Memorial Hermann The clock drawing test is a useful tool for assessing cognitive function of a variety of diagnoses in a user-friendly manner. This lecture will explain the procedure, methods of scoring, and implications to the clinician in practice. The participant will practice scoring several clocks and will hypothesize how information obtained will impact treatment planning and referrals. VOICE AND ALARYNGEAL COMMUNICATION (SLP) 1047  Grand Rounds-Voice: Clinical Insights From Challenging Cases TH 10:15AM-12:15PM / CC, 161 (Lvl 1) Intermediate; Prof Educ AUTHOR(S): Bruce Poburka, Minnesota St U; Lisa Butcher, U of Minnesota; John Littlefield, St Cloud Ear, Nose & Throat; Rebecca Pittelko, Mayo Clinic; Dan Weinstein, U of Minnesota A panel of five experienced voice clinicians will each present a case that presented special challenges.
