In this episode, Michelle is joined by none other than the PFD leader Memorie Gosa, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BCS-S, who is also an associate professor and Chair in the Communicative Disorders Department at The University of Alabama and the Chair of the Inaugural 2021 Pediatric Normal and Disordered Feeding & Swallowing Topic Committee for the ASHA 2021 Convention. If you are heading to Washington D.C. this year or tuning in online, well, then you will want to listen to this episode first. Over the course of an hour, Dr. Gosa shares the origins of pediatric dysphagia and pediatric feeding disorder, the evolution in best practice for treatment, how to ensure that you are currently engaging in the current evidenced-based practice, and teases out the “must-see” invited Pediatric Normal and Disordered Feeding & Swallowing Lectures. If you’re hungry for the back story of PFD and where we are headed as a profession, then this is the episode for you.
