Dissertation Blog Post 2 Writing a literature review can be an overwhelming process. I have a feeling that throughout this entire dissertation process I will need to keep telling myself to “just keep swimming.” Luckily, I am working with a University that provides amazing supports such as an incredible library to access, amazing librarians and instructors to help guide you to the right resources and fantastic classmates who are 100% supportive of one another. One of the biggest challenges I had with starting my literature review was knowing actually where to begin. I found, as recommended in my course work, that creating a literature review map was the best place to start. I had a general rough draft in mind for this map but it wasn’t until after I had a scheduled visit with a librarian from the University that I was able to create my map. After she showed me a few tips and tricks to searching for not only peer reviewed journal articles but also similar dis...
The new "hot topic" issue at my work for the past couple of months has been G-Codes. No not "guy code" (as my teasing boyfriend rhetorically asked). These are the new codes that will need to be utilized for successful billing and reimbursement for Medicare patients - specifically part B and a few other exceptions to the rules such as observation status patients in the hospital. My hospital was very fortunate to have the support of our managers in our continued education on this topic. Today many of our SLP's were able to participate in ASHA's Webinar regarding G-Codes. There was great information regarding G-Codes, NOMS, and FCM's. I would highly recommend looking into this Webinar if you have patients under Medicare part B! There was also a q&a part at the end which I think they will make available to read or to listen to I'd you decide to review the course now. Below is a link if any if you are interested! If anyone has questions I would ...
This evening I read Stuttering in School-Age Children: A Call for Treatment Research by Marilyn A. Nippold, PhD, and Editor. 2011 http://lshss.asha.org/cgi/content/full/42/2/99 This article is short, sweet, informative and basically hands out a research idea for dysfluency on a silver platter! In a nutshell this article discusses the need for research on therapy intervention for fluency for school-age children. I cannot agree more! Since starting in an outpatient facility I have had just a hand full of school-age fluency clients. I feel that there are so many different techniques to target fluency that it would be nice to have some solid evidence-based practice to present to parents and the students to collaboratively make a great plan of care. The author discusses the need and the benefit research would give this area of speech-language pathology. She further discusses two common methods in targeting fluency - the Lidcombe Program and the Gradual Increase in Length and Complex...
