Devin Lukachik, CCC-SLP, is a speech-language pathologist with specialization in voice, swallowing, and upper airway disorders. His specialties include treatment of age-related voice problems, voice and swallowing rehabilitation in head and neck cancers and laryngectomy, preventive swallow treatment for late radiation-associated dysphagia, and management of swallowing disorders in advanced dementia, neurodegenerative disease, and end-of-life care.
He received a Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from The University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio. Lukachik developed a strong interest in voice and swallowing disorders during rotations at University Hospital, San Antonio’s only Level I trauma center for both adults and children, followed by a full-time rotation in a multidisciplinary otorhinolaryngology practice. He went on to complete his fellowship training at HCA Clear Lake Regional Hospital, managing complex cases like stroke, trauma, cardiac surgery, tracheostomy, and ICU-level care, while practicing videofluoroscopic and endoscopic swallow testing.
Lukachik continues to specialize heavily in fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and has trained a number of speech-language pathologists in implementing this evaluation in clinical settings. He also has a strong clinical interest in integrating laryngeal videostroboscopy as biofeedback for treating voice and upper airway disorders.
Lukachik’s background also includes work as a Certified Healthcare Interpreter (CHI) in English and Spanish. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and has delivered dozens of presentations to both speech-language pathologists and healthcare interpreters focused on the complex intersection of bilingualism and communication disorders. He has also published a number of books and resources in both languages, including the first-ever English-Spanish glossary of terminology in speech, language, and hearing sciences. His publications are widely used by interpreters and bilingual speech-language pathologists, and he is proud to be part of the exceptionally small percentage (less than 5%) of SLPs qualified to treat communication disorders in both languages as a bilingual service provider.
Lukachik is a member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters, the National Foundation of Swallowing Disorders, the Oregon Society of Translators and Interpreters, the Academy of Neurologic Communication Disorders and Sciences, and The Voice Foundation.
