Ashford, and has had a hand in training fellow speech pathologists in endoscopic swallow assessment in Canada and Australia. He holds a Masters Degree in Science from UBC and is a certified Compton P-ESL accent instructor. He maintains certified practice certificates in videofluoroscopy, endoscopic swallow assessment, communication and swallowing for tracheostomy, and tracheo-esophageal voice restoration (post-laryngectomy).

“I’m continually impressed by the things I see in FEEVS – the fine tuning of the larynx (voicebox) and the split-second timing and coordination that allow us to eat and drink while still protecting our airways. I find it most rewarding when someone I’m working with has that moment of realizing they get it – they can do, or say, or take care of something in a way that they couldn’t before.”
