The SENTAC podcast

In this episode I'm joined by Ron B. Mitchell MD, Yann-Fuu Kou MD, Courtney Van’T Slot SLP, and Caitlin Lentz SLP of the Dallas Children’s Velopharyngeal Incompetence (VPI) Team. We discuss VPI, how and when their team was formed, how their team functions, VPI assessment decision making, therapy and surgical decision making, current VPI care shortcomings, and what ENTs and SLPs often misunderstand about VPI care.
