Description: Swallowing is a highly complex skill that can be compromised by neurological or structural changes to the mechanism. The resulting impairment, dysphagia, is common in rehab and aging populations. To best care for our patients and maximize rehab potential, it is imperative that medical staff have an understanding of dysphagia. This course discusses normal and disordered swallowing, populations at risk for swallowing impairments, and the physical and social consequences of dysphagia. The crucial role of non-SLPs in the management of dysphagia is discussed.
Objectives: Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe normal swallowing
- Define characteristics and consequences of dysphagia
- Identify the role of the SLP and typical assessment tools
- Discuss compensatory strategies, including appropriate use and misuse
- Explain the role of non-SLP team members
