[Dysphagia] Swalowing workshop
Perhaps you would be so kind as to share what it is you believe me to be missing. My understanding is that these workshops are attended by practicing SLPs and I fail to see why that should be necessary if they are already adequately trained and educated as ASHA's position papers indicate they should be. It seems like a very basic course to me as well as missing some important material so that I should be grateful for your explanation.

Subject: [Dysphagia] Swalowing workshop
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?
