Brand New Extra Handout on Medications and surgeries for chronic cough!
Treating chronic cough can be difficult, especially if you are a speech pathologist who doesn’t see it often. Harder still, is getting information into your patients’ hands that is succinct and easy to read, backed by research.

Jessica –
Kristie does it again! This resource is exactly what the inpatient and/or outpatient SLP needs for a voice/upper airway session targeting behavioral cough suppression strategies for chronic cough. The handouts are visually-appealing and easy to follow. The information provided is consistent with published literature (a great read is Speech Pathology Management of Chronic Refractory Cough and Related Disorders by Anne Vertigan and Peter Gibson) but presented in a clinically applicable resource. I strongly recommend this resource to other SLPs with similar caseloads.
