Course overview

All systems in the body including the respiratory system, sensory system, gastrointestinal system, endocrine system, and muscular system affect the swallow. Aging impacts each system, creating more challenges for the elderly with mastication, swallow, digestion, and nutrition/hydration. These changes may require implementation of modifications and compensatory strategies. Knowing what is a temporary versus a permanent change can help us problem-solve appropriate modifications and strategies at mealtime.
