Dr. Pam Holland, Chair of the Communication Disorders Department at Marshall University, played a role in a new publication addressing Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS). Titled Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome: Speech-Language Pathologists and Interprofessional Care, this book, edited by Brenda Louw, brings together expert perspectives to offer a comprehensive resource for healthcare professionals working with infants, children, and families affected by NOWS.
Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome: Speech-Language Pathologists and Interprofessional Care is now available to healthcare professionals, educators, and researchers looking to expand their knowledge and improve care strategies for infants suffering from the effects of opioid withdrawal. The book examines the physical effects of Opioid withdrawal on infants.
Holland’s involvement focuses on the vital role speech-language pathologists play in addressing developmental and communication challenges in infants experiencing NOWS. Holland’s insights highlight the importance of integrating speech-language pathology within a broader care team that includes occupational therapists, physical therapists, nurses, pediatricians, and other healthcare providers.
The publication is expected to be an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and clinicians in speech-language pathology and other related fields, as they work toward improving outcomes for vulnerable populations.
