This program will examine the inter-relationships between respiration, gastrointestinal function, sensori-motor function, and swallowing to allow clinicians to better identify the underlying causes of their client’s swallowing difficulties.
We’ll look at specific respiratory and GI diagnoses and their impact on what, when, how much, and how safely our clients eat.
Using clinical case studies, we’ll examine the evidence to provide you with the tools you need to perform a thorough multi-disciplinary assessment and implement a comprehensive treatment plan that takes into account all of the potential contributing factors. Sometimes, it’s about more than just swallowing.
