This book and CD-ROM resource is the simple answer to a busy therapist's problem. It enables the therapist to meet their professional responsibility to inform patients and carers of relevant dysphagia instructions by designing contemporaneous written information, advice and therapy. Using an interactive CD-ROM, Swallowing Guidelines allow you to produce multiple individualised programs that may be emailed or posted to the individuals, their carers or other professionals in any location.

Additional Information
The program sheets offer comprehensive advice covering all aspects of dysphagia care in clear unambiguous language. All that the therapist needs to do is highlight the sections pertinent to their patient and the program is created.
