[Dysphagia] Dictionary needed



I found the materials I got from Irene's site in Spanish to be excellent
also. (http://www.interactivetherapy.com/Merchant/Nswallow.ihtml) closer
to bottom of page, or search for "Spanish")

very careful with machine translations. If the Hispanic person looks
puzzled or shakes their head, it probably did it too literally word for
word and does not mean the same thing.
