Topic: "The Role of the Speech-Language Pathologist in Treating the Wounded and Injured Soldier"
Speaker: Lisa A. Newman, Sc.D.
Speaker Bio: Lisa A. Newman, Sc.D., is chief of the Speech Pathology section and a Research Speech Pathologist in the Army Audiology and Speech Center, Walter Reed Army Medical Center. She received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Northwestern University and Doctor of Science at Boston University. She then completed a post-doctoral fellowship in swallowing under Dr. Logemann at Northwestern University. Dr. Newman has many years of clinical experience. She has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and chapters in swallowing and swallowing disorders, and has spoken nationally and internationally. Her areas of interest are swallowing in infants, blast injuries, and patients with head & neck cancer.
Abstract: This session will address the role of the speech-language pathologist in treating the returning soldier. The present conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have the highest survival rate and lowest mortality rate of any conflict in U.S. history due to advances in protective gear and medical care. As the conflict has progressed, warfare in Iraq & Afghanistan has changed with a greater use of explosive devices. Those wounded in action have been experiencing “blast injuries” with increasing frequency. As the wounded and injured veterans recover and return to their civilian communities, speech-language pathologists will be treating cognitive-communication, swallowing, and speech issues in blast injury survivors and other injured soldiers. It is imperative that the speech-language pathologist understands the nature and severity of injuries and the types of disorders in an effort to address rehabilitative, educational and vocational needs. Our role in treating these patients from injury throughout community reintegration will be discussed.
