Webinar: Freehands Optimization - Treatment proposal to increase widespread usage of an Automatic Speaking Valve in tracheoesophageal speech
Date: October 10, 2024, Thursday, 07:00 PM - 08:00 PM CET
Speaker: Ylenia Longobardi
Language: this webinar will be presented in English
Brief description:
Being able to speak handsfree is the ultimate goal in post-laryngectomy voice rehabilitation, but previous studies and clinical experience have shown that the use of an automatic speaking valve (ASV) to enable handsfree speech is challenging. Subsequently, only a minority of patients is able to use an ASV successfully in daily life.
Ylenia Longobardi, Speech and Language Pathologist at the Gemelli Hospital Rome, performed a study analyzing the main reasons for non-use and introduced an intensive and structured training program. Recently this study, ‘Automatic speaking valve in trachea-esophageal speech: treatment proposal for a widespread usage’, was published in Head & Neck. In this webinar Ylenia will present the results, showing specific and targeted training can stimulate and improve the use of an ASV.
