About

With additional full-color images, videos, and case studies, Clinical Management of Swallowing Disorders, Sixth Edition is an essential graduate-level textbook for speech-language pathology programs that examines the diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders across the lifespan. The text emphasizes team management, evidence-based practice, swallowing safety, nutrition, behavioral treatments, and management by speech-language pathologists after surgical options. Chapters cover the essential topics and emphasize the significance of proper assessments and treatments to improve a patient’s dysphagia and quality of life. The new edition addresses the importance of early intervention and role of speech-language pathologists in managing swallowing disorders. The text has been revised to include involvement in research, teaching, and clinical practice related to swallowing disorders from infancy to aging.
