ASHA Learning Pass

This webinar addresses the roles and responsibilities of the SLP – especially when it comes to ethical considerations – in interprofessional management of swallowing and feeding difficulties. The SLP is one cog in a complex machine of stakeholders (including patients, their families, and other professionals) and can be the linchpin in ensuring optimal care.

Learning Objectives
You will be able to:

• explain two frameworks that support ethical practice in dysphagia management
• account for patient/family and SLP perspectives for management of feeding/swallowing difficulties
• summarize the priorities of at least one other professional with whom you work, regarding feeding/eating difficulties of your shared patient
