SEMINAR DESCRIPTIONEmpowered with the right information and resources, managing and treating elderly clients with dysphagia can be very rewarding. This clinically relevant seminar brings together 8 leading dysphagia experts to examine current research and best practice when addressing the needs of elderly clients with swallowing disorders. Discussion will focus on matching specific treatments with specific swallowing disorders and the decision-making process when employing diet modification, exercise, postures, positioning, maneuvers, or specific techniques related to cognitive loss. The recommendation of non-oral feedings will be covered including discussion of when to terminate service. Also discussed will be the ethics of other challenging recommendations.

Included will be a specific segment addressing esophageal disorders to help the SLP know when to refer to other health care professionals. Special considerations and treatment suggestions when implementing programs for patients with cognitive loss will be covered. Also included will be a session on pharmacology and dysphagia. Common diagnostic groups and targeted interventions appropriate for these disorders will be discussed for clients with CVA, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, and COPD.

Dysphagia Practice: It’s Time To Take Another Look At Treatment OptionsSEMINAR DESCRIPTIONOver the past 25 years clinical researchers have given the field of speech pathology several evidence-based treatments that target specific swallowing disorders. This seminar will re-examine the merits of these traditional treatment approaches to determine if and when their use is still appropriate in the current healthcare environment. Approaches that will be re-examined include the use of maneuvers, positioning, exercise, and sensory interventions (thermal-tactile-stimulation, texture, taste, bolus size, temperature).

Next, this seminar will discuss in detail new evidence-based approaches that have now emerged, including Lung Volume Therapy, Rational Emotive Counseling Techniques, Electrical Stimulation, Water Protocols, and specific treatments for MS, MD and ALS patients. Participants will learn when to use these new approaches, which approaches are best for specific patients/disorders, and how these approaches can improve swallow safety and efficiency. The ultimate goal of this seminar is to blend the traditional with the new to aid participants in determining best practice, and provide information that leads to functional swallow outcomes in less time.
