Ep. 6: Abbey Bishop, MA, CCC-SLP, CLC "You want to breastfeed, but wait, I’m the SLP? Part 2"

This course is the second in a two part series with Abby Bishop. In this course, we take a closer look at what is covered in a lactation evaluation and when/where referrals are warranted. 

About Abby: Abby Bishop MA CCC-SLP, CLC graduated from Kent State University’s undergraduate and master’s program in speech language pathology in 2008. She began her career working with geriatrics in skilled nursing, but shortly after took a contract placement in Aiken, SC working with pediatrics in natural environment and outpatient clinic settings.  After that placement, she relocated to Beaufort, SC and has worked outpatient pediatrics at the local non-profit hospital for the last 7 years. Just recently, she transitioned to home health to allow her more schedule flexibility since returning to work after the birth of her first baby. Abby’s primary interests are in late language emergence, motor-speech disorders in the under-3 population, and feeding/swallowing disorders in all populations. She pursued her certification in lactation counseling in 2015 after receiving several referrals for swallowing disorders in infants whose mothers reported early weaning due to supply issues. She is currently working toward growing her practice to serve more breastfed babies!
