[Dysphagia] How to identify silent aspiration clinically

[Drirenect at aol.com (Drirenect@aol.com)]

My own experience teaching and practicing over more than 20 years and  
keeping detailed records confirms my statement. If you check Martin-Harris and  
Logemann et al on the same topic you will find comparable data. Also, those on  
this list who have been taught by me may also be able to weigh in on the topic.  
I never thought it was necessary to publish data on what is well documented  
neurological information and I doubt that it would be published in any 
reputable  neurological journal as it simply follows well-known procedures that have 
been  described for more than a century. The fact that these are not known by 
or  taught to the majority of SLPs is an ongoing concern and a situation that 
I have  never been able to understand. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to 
your  perception of the reasons for this serious lack in SLP dysphagia  training.
