June 2023 Pediatrics Newsletter

Good News! We are now able to complete an MBSS in side-lying position for the infant population. We know that this is a beneficial feature, as many babies with dysphagia leave the hospital with recommendations for feeding in side-lying position. The machine can easily adjust between viewing the patient in side-lying and semi-reclined, so both positions can be assessed during one study.

May 2023 Pediatrics Newsletter

Hi all! For anyone new to the newsletter, my name is Ashley Stone, and I am the pediatric SLP at DiagnosTEX. Our outpatient Modified Barium Swallow Study clinic is now open every Tuesday and Friday for pediatric patients of all ages! We have supported seating devices for those that are in need. A few quick facts:

❖ We accept most insurances.
❖ We MUST have a signed order from a physician prior to initiating any contact with families. All orders should be faxed to 888.920.1201.
 I will personally call all families and the treating SLP (if applicable) prior to the study to gain a thorough history.
 In addition to faxing the full report to the referring physician & the treating SLP, I will also call/text the treating SLP following the study to give a brief synopsis.

Pediatric Modified Barium Swallow Studies
Our outpatient clinic is now open every Tuesday and Friday for pediatric patients of all ages! We have supported seating devices for those that are in need.

Do you have a family or patient that may be anxious about getting a swallow study done? I invite them to schedule a time to visit the clinic, prior to their appointment, in attempt to ease any discomfort. The fluoroscopy suite will be set up exactly as it would be the day of the appointment. Please reach out to me if this is something they are interested in!
