[Dysphagia] Swalowing workshop

[eripley at yahoo.com (Irene Campbell-Taylor)]

Someone recently poste a notice about a swallowing workshop as follows:

 

This workshop is designed to provide:

--knowledge and hands on experience with radiographic and clinical 

techniques for evaluation of swallowing problems in a variety of patients 

(including neurological and cancer patients)

--strategies for knowing when and how to implement interventions during 

radiographic studies and in therapy

--Guidelines for discontinuing alternate feeding techniques (gastrostomy and 

nasogastric)

--observation and participation in evaluation of treatment of patients. 
  Extensive review  of video-taped x-ray swallowstudies will be provided.
   
  I must be missing something but, aren't these the very things that practicing SLPs are supposed to already know - according to the ASHA position papers?
