Description
Swallowing Disorders: Managing Dysphagia in the Elderly is a reference guide developed by a speech pathologist to assist caregivers, particularly those with elderly parents or spouses and those caring for aging individuals with chewing and swallowing disorders. It is written in layman's terms with clinical information provided and explained in detail with a review of both normal anatomy and function as well as signs and symptoms of a chewing and swallowing disorder. Modified diets and safety strategies are discussed as well as information on formal tests that utilize instruments to determine the nature and severity of the swallowing problem. Links to videos and external support sites are provided within the book for further understanding of normal and disordered swallowing as well as how to thicken liquids. - from Amzon
