Where do SLPs actually start when it comes to dysphagia rehabilitation?
Obviously, this is a very broad question and the real answer is…. “It depends.”
It depends on the patient, their diagnosis, their desire to participate in therapy, and the physiologic impairments noted on their MBS (just to name a few factors!).
In today’s video, I’m going to break down the evidence-based steps that should be considered when assessing and treating dysphagia patients.
And if you stick around until the end of the video – you’ll get a free bonus that will help you gain a much deeper understanding of dysphagia exercises and how to use them with your patients!
Watch and Enjoy!
