This journal
self-study course explores best practices for dysphasia assessment and recent
innovations in dysphagia treatment. The articles – from an American Journal
of Speech-Language Pathology special issue “Select Papers From the 2018
Charleston Swallowing Conference at Northwestern University” – will help SLPs
develop a deeper understanding of how to select appropriate treatment
techniques, as well as why those techniques can be impactful in improving
swallowing function. The articles delve deeply into past, current, and future
treatment approaches for dysphagia and will be helpful for established
clinicians as well as those who are new to the field of dysphagia assessment
and treatment.
