(HS Quellier 065587 2025) Treating Cognitive Deficits that Impact Safety with Oral Intake: A Primer Beyond Dysphagia Manageme
Tracking # 20-1307177
Course overview
Clinicians treating dysphagia often focus on dysfunction in strength, timing, and efficiency of the neuromuscular system. Cognitive-behavioral changes and altered sensory systems can also overlay neuromuscular proficiency, contributing to suboptimal, or at-risk oral intake. This session is designed to explore the neurology of sensation, visual capacity, and executive functions that challenge patients to engage in meals, sustain nutrition, and ultimately minimize nonoral support to meet caloric and hydration needs. Practical compensations and research driven interventions will be discussed through each topic within the lecture.
