[Dysphagia] Any experience with this system? (DDS/DMSS)



We are currently looking at implementing the Dysphagia Disorders Survey 
(DDS) and the Dysphagia Management Staging Scale (DMSS) for an 
institutional populaiton that currently is assessed and managed in a 
fairly subjective manner. The whole package invovled training workshops as 
well as licence for the instrument in question. Does any one have personal 
experience or feedback about it?
