Dr. Humbert and Emma Justice examine fear-based food refusal in children and adults, including how to distinguish anxiety-driven avoidance from physiologic or skill-based deficits and recognize assessment and intervention red flags.
Oral-motor development across the lifespan—from breastfeeding, bottles, and solids through adulthood—with tongue-tie, tongue thrust, high palatal arches, oral habits, oral-phase efficiency, and possible later pharyngeal effects in view.
Practical counseling across the lifespan, from infant-feeding challenges to support after head and neck cancer, with attention to caregiver stress, burnout, compassionate education, realistic expectations, confidence, resilience, and trust.
Real clinical cases address normal versus disordered physiology; best use of the clinical swallow evaluation, FEES, and MBS; treatment planning that uses eating and drinking as the main rehabilitation target; and documentation foundations and a template. Recordings are included.
Real cases reframe the SLP therapy toolbox around restoration, personalized eating plans, secretion management, feeding tubes, oral care, interdisciplinary work, medication swallowing, remote therapeutic monitoring, patient-centered care, and documentation. Recordings are included.
Two free Dysphagia Awareness Month sessions preceded the paid fall series. Their recordings were announced for STEP, with GULP Fiction also announced for the National Foundation of Swallowing Disorders.

Secretion Management
A multisystem look at saliva and mucus between meals as well as during eating, including connections to airway protection, pulmonary health, assessment, and intervention within SLP scope.
Four persistent swallowing myths are tested against patient cases to move clinical decisions away from assumptions and toward the physiology driving the finding.
