Craig Mateer / Nikki Howell

On this episode, I am joined by Nikki Howell.  Nikki is an SLP currently at a small rural hospital but has worked in just about every patient setting.  She talks about several of her patients - one with a more traditional dysphagia challenge and a unique one caused by oral aparaxia.  In both, she talks about the benefit of VitalStim treatment in getting that extra buy in that is so critical in to the success of her treatments.

Nikki has also learned and investigated the cognitive impact or fall prevention and the role of the  SLP in that process.  Hear about what she has learned and how you can learn even more from her about it.
