Opis

The case-loads of speech and language therapists have increasingly included work with dysphagia clients. This text should be useful to clinicians working with dysphagia and is suitable for those involved in a range of settings and a diversity of client groups including those with acquired neurological disorders and learning difficulties. With its perspective on everyday practice, this volume aims to fill a gap in an area where practical and workable material is sought after.
