Multidisciplinary medical teams are a growing standard of care for complex pediatric diagnoses. This is especially true for children with complex airway problems and tracheostomies. This course will cover complex pediatric airway diagnoses, surgical management, indications for tracheostomy, and multidisciplinary team management. We will review the role of the SLP within a multidisciplinary team, including evaluation and management of feeding/swallowing disorders and communication. Within this management, there will be a focus on the evaluation and utilization of one-way speaking valves. There will also be a section dedicated to family/caregiver education and recent global initiatives as well. Case examples and videos will be included throughout this presentation.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe components of an interdisciplinary team providing care to children with tracheostomy
- Explain and implement a holistic approach to the child with tracheostomy
- Describe how they may continue to foster caregiver education and learning within a variety of home and/or facility settings
