Esophageal Dysphagia:  Applications for the SLP

 

This cutting-edge 2-day course is designed for the intermediate dysphagia therapist.  Gain valuable knowledge on esophageal disorders affecting the oropharyngeal stage of swallowing including laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and GERD.  Dramatically improve your diagnostic ability and treatment planning by deciphering primary oropharyngeal vs esophageal dysphagia.  Extensive clinical training for advanced interpretation of FEES and MBS to include implementation of the Reflux Finding Score (RFS) and esophageal sweep will be provided.  Affects of various enteral feeding methods and xerostomia will be discussed.  Course size limited. 

 

**(FEES and/or MBS training is not necessary to take this course as these segments are found very helpful to the outsourcing therapist).
