Let’s Talk: Swallowing Complexities, IDD, and Ethics

Direct support professionals (DSPs) in the community provide vital care to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) when supporting people with complex eating/swallowing needs.

This month’s Let’s Talk episode will discuss using tools and strategies available when moral and ethical situations arise along the way in supporting people’s mealtime routines.  Join Andria Bianchi, PhD, a Clinical Ethicist and Maya Albin a speech-language pathologist (SLP) and PhD student at McGill University as they discuss their article, “Swallowing Complexities, IDD, and Ethics: A Case Example,” with John Raffaele, NADSP Director of Educational Services.

This webinar is a companion to the most recent International Journal for Direct Support Professionals issue.

ASL interpretation and closed captions will be available during the webinar.
