(Dysphagia)

About this Document

This curriculum was revised by members of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) Special Interest Division 13: Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (Dysphagia) 2006 Steering Committee: Caryn Easterling and Cathy Lazarus (committee cochairs), Elizabeth Andrews, Rita Bailey, Dan Gaskell, Tessa Goldsmith, Steve Gorsek, and Adrienne Perlman. Michelle Ferketic, ASHA's Director, Special Interest Divisions and International Liaison Programs, provided technical assistance. The activity was monitored by Division 13 Steering Committee Liaison Catriona Steele. Other members of the 2006 Special Interest Division 13 Steering Committee are Nancy Swigert (coordinator); Lynn Brady-Wagner, Maureen Lefton-Greif, and Luis Riquelme (associate coordinator). The Steering Committee is monitored by the monitoring VP for Professional Practices in Speech-Language Pathology, Brian Schulman.

Introduction

Approximately 87% of the respondents to ASHA's 2005 Health Care Survey in Speech-Language Pathology (ASHA, 2005) indicated that they were the primary providers of dysphagia services in their facilities. In the same survey, 16% of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) working in health care settings reported that they provide dysphagia services to infants and/or children. Results of the 2003 Omnibus Survey (ASHA, 2003) also indicated that 13.8% of SLPs practicing in the schools now treat children with dysphagia. Diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders are included in the SLPs' scope of practice (ASHA, 2001). Graduate programs must respond to the education and training demands implicit in this scope of practice and provide students with knowledge and skills required to effectively evaluate and treat dysphagia across a variety of populations and practice settings.

In the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology, graduate programs are accredited by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA). New standards for certification that were recently developed for speech-language pathology and audiology graduate training programs required implementation in calendar year 2004 (CAA, 2001). Consequently, accredited programs have realigned their curricula with the new standards. Whereas the old standards were process-based, the new standards are outcome-based.

The new standards required a realignment of the Graduate Curriculum on Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (Adult and Pediatric Dysphagia) to include behaviorally defined levels of achievement. The standards now include outcomes and benchmarks that correspond to the new certification standards. This change will likely require many university programs to adapt their traditional instructional practices and assessment procedures to meet the new outcomes-based standards.

This updated version of the Graduate Curriculum on Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (Adult and Pediatric Dysphagia) reflects these changes as well as the expansion of the knowledge base in this critical area of clinical practice. The revised curriculum, with its outline and references, can serve as a model for university programs. Because the development of any course is unique to the instructor and the academic institution, the Division on Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders has attempted to provide this material in a format that will allow instructors to design their own curricula. New and important work in swallowing continues to be published; therefore, the references should not be regarded as an exhaustive list, but instead as a resource to be updated by each instructor as appropriate. Included in the reference sections are classic and theoretical summaries for the more advanced graduate seminar, as well as basic texts, journal articles, and treatment manuals for the clinical components and the basic practitioner. The reference lists are divided into three sections, general dysphagia references, adult dysphagia references, and pediatric dysphagia references; each is organized by topic.

Course Didactic Content

This is a suggested introductory course lecture outline with suggested references to be used. This should provide a knowledge base to engage in a clinical practicum in swallowing.

Lecture outline: Refer to outline of graduate-level course with suggested references.

Clinical Observations (Direct or Taped)/ Swallow Lab

These are suggested activities to be added to a graduate-level swallowing course.

  1. Interpretation of archived imaging studies

  2. Hands-on training and demonstration in screening, diagnostic, and treatment techniques with adults and children (i.e., sEMG, IOPI, FEES)

  3. Report writing

  4. Observation: at least three cases as part of the graduate course. Observations should include at least one instrumental, one noninstrumental evaluation, and one treatment session (adult and pediatric case). Individuals should be exposed to as many treatment sites and team interactions as possible, including a variety of medical and educational settings.

Return to Top

Graduate-Level Clinical Practicum

Suggested time: 60 clinical hours, to include diagnostic and treatment activities with an experienced certified clinician in a medical, nursing, special education, or rehabilitation setting. Whereas 60 hours is suggested, programs will need to determine their own criteria. These are suggested guidelines but are not requirements.

Dysphagia is a multidisciplinary field; therefore readings and other educational materials should be selected from among such relevant disciplines as dentistry, engineering, geriatrics, internal medicine, gastroenterology, neurology, nursing, nutrition, otolaryngology, pediatrics, physiology, pulmonology, radiology, rehabilitation medicine, and speech-language pathology.

Suggested Student Learning Outcomes/Benchmarks (Related to KASA Guidelines)

  1. The student will identify the anatomy, physiology, and neural controls involved in normal swallowing for children and adults.

  2. The student will describe primary physiological systems associated with swallowing, such as respiratory, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and sensory systems.

  3. The student will use knowledge of normal swallowing processes to determine presence or absence of dysphagia in children and adults.

  4. The student will identify primary etiologies and associated dysphagia characteristics in children and adults.

  5. The student will identify the symptoms and underlying etiologies and pathophysiology of dysphagia in children and adults.

  6. The student will identify symptoms, underlying etiology, and pathophysiology of dysphagia in special populations (i.e., tracheostomized and ventilator dependent patients, patients with multiple diagnosis/comorbidities, and patients with postsurgical anatomical variations, systemic medical conditions, etc.).

  7. The student will identify research-supported characteristics of normal and disordered swallowing across the life span.

  8. The student will identify evidence-based methods for instrumental and noninstrumental assessment of dysphagia.

  9. The student will demonstrate knowledge and skills needed to implement research-supported strategies for noninstrumental evaluation of swallowing.

  10. The student will demonstrate knowledge and skills needed to implement research supported strategies for instrumental evaluation of swallowing.

  11. The student will demonstrate the ability to devise research-supported therapy/management plans for the treatment of specific swallowing impairments, taking into account motivation level, quality of life, cultural, ethical, and moral issues.

  12. The student will describe basic radiation safety protocols for speech-language pathologists and patients during radiographic swallow evaluation.

  13. The student will identify options for dysphagia teaming models that are appropriate for a variety of practice settings and environments.
