This course explores the multisystem breakdown of the swallow as well as the broadening role of the SLP in dysphagia therapy. The five systems of dysphagia (cognitive - neurological - respiratory - gastrointestinal - muscular) are discussed with explanation of how disorders in these systems can have a devastating effect on the swallow. Applications in everyday clinical practice as well as dysphagia assessment and treatment planning are provided. Aspiration risk and other related factors that contribute to repeat hospital admissions in this population are documented. Several case studies are presented covering neurogenic dysphagia, indicators of return to hospital risk, and the possible oral, laryngeal and lobar effects of COVID-19.
