With over 30 years of experience treating both adult and pediatric populations in a variety of settings, Angela will show you how to confidently assess and treat age-related changes in sensory and motor function in addition to those produced by neuropathology. You'll learn so much more than simply treating a person's ability to swallow; you'll walk away with actionable neurobehavioral strategies to combat loneliness, isolation, depression and loss of dignity surrounding meals. Now is the time to reimagine quality of living for your dementia patients and their families.
