Course Description

Course time: 1:00 PM Central (2:00 PM Eastern; 12:00 PM Pacific)

Drooling is a swallowing problem that can have significant consequences on quality of life as well as overall health and well-being. A speech pathologist has a vital role on the multidisciplinary team to assess saliva management and provide appropriate and functional intervention as well as oral and non-oral intake recommendations. This intermediate level course will address the role of saliva, drooling as a swallowing problem, methods to measure severity and frequency, and medical and therapeutic intervention across the lifespan. Case studies and pertinent research will be discussed.

This course will discuss both pediatrics and adults.

This was a very useful course. It's difficult to find information on this topic and I was very pleased with how comprehensive the course was. The speaker appeared very knowledgeable and presented the information in a useful and clear manner. I love the ability to watch it at home, this allows me to take more courses than if I had to travel to a location. Thank you for offering this course!
