Description
Working towards your advanced practice (SWC)? This is the perfect foundational course to start your training. Seasoned dysphagia clinician looking for clarity? Although the perfect challenge for beginners, this course will deepen your understanding of the physiologic foundations of feeding and swallowing and take your treatment to a new level. This two-day workshop provides an in-depth exploration of the biomechanical, neurological, and sensory components of normal and abnormal swallowing. Participants will walk away with increased understanding of the neuromuscular control of swallow physiology, and be able to confidently apply this knowledge to day-to-day practice. Through lecture, modified barium swallow study videos, case studies focused on signs/symptoms, dysfunctions, and impairments, and interactive activities, course participants will acquire the knowledge to assertively address the complex occupation of feeding.
