Does assessing dysphagia in the schools scare you a little bit? Does creating a feeding protocol for a student seem overwhelming and impossible? Join Wendy Gunter as she shares the steps you need to take to assess dysphagia for a student and complete a safe feeding protocol. She will discuss the history and ethics of managing dysphagia in the schools, and will give you concrete steps for working with your team and developing a plan.
Wendy references the ASHA Code of Ethics (http://www.asha.org/code-of-ethics/), the ASHA Professional Issues Statement on the Roles and Responsibilities of the SLP in Schools (http://www.asha.org/policy/PI2010-00317/), and the ASHA Pediatric Dysphagia Portal http://www.asha.org/Practice-Portal/Clinical-Topics/Pediatric-Dysphagia/. This is one of her favorite topics, so she encourages you to contact her with your questions and concerns you have!
