[Dysphagia] patient education

[vbalmer at consolidated.net (Velvet Balmer)]

I am looking for articles or education materials to provide to  
parents who have been told incorrectly that oral motor exercises will  
strengthen and reduce low tone.  I find it sad and alarming that I am  
encountering PTs who are giving patients advice on doing oral motor  
exercises when they are not educated in this area and are giving  
false information about what doing oral motor exercises can do.  It  
is particularly difficult because the parents trust this PT entirely  
and I while I don't want to overwhelm these parents with technical  
jargon, but need to explain the differences in physiology between  
facial muscles and skeletal muscles in a way that will make sense and  
be authoritative.  Any suggestions?
