These four SIG 13 articles provide valuable information in dysphagia practice. In
addition, they offer a unique array of special populations and challenges in patient care
involving swallowing and feeding difficulties. First, Veronica H. Letawsky, Ann-Marie
Schreiber, Camilla Dawson, Geoff Fullerton, Robyn C. Jones, Karyn Newton, Niki
Oveisi, Tahira Tejpar, and Stacey A. Skoretz highlight multisystem considerations for
dysphagia management following critical illness and discuss clinical innovation, as well
as the evolution of practice during the global pandemic. Second, Hema Desai, Sarah
Lauridson, Michelle Nguyen, Elisa Ornelas, and John Schomberg aim to describe and
measure changes in oral feeding skills and mealtime behaviors observed in children with
complex feeding disorders and/or feeding tube dependency after participating in an
intensive and collaborative feeding program. Then, Lauren G. Faust explores how the
use of methamphetamine may have an impact on the oropharyngeal swallow function as
well as treatment participation. Finally, Lori Ann Arguello and Kathleen M. Kerr describe
the mechanism of a facial burn injury and how it may cause functional impairments that
can be directly impacted through early intervention utilizing speech-language pathology
services.
