Many SLPs work with clients whose voice, fluency, or communication difficulties are compounded by nervous system dysregulation, but few receive formal training in how breathwork may help. Angela Dupree, MA, CCC-SLP, RYT 200, Breathwork Facilitator, offers an evidence-based framework for using breathwork within an SLP’s scope of practice.
The course examines respiratory ratios, vagal tone, nasal nitric oxide, resonance, and soft palate function to show how breathing can affect communication. Angela also covers the origins and science of breathwork, including pranayama, and its relevance to voice, fluency, and communication disorders.
You’ll learn how to recognize when breathwork may be appropriate, match techniques to a client’s presentation, and introduce them with confidence. The course also addresses when a referral to another provider may be the right next step.
