I am a graduate student.  My college offers a course in Dysphagia in adults, 
as well as, a course in  Dysphagia in children. I am currently in the adult 
course and have learned and  will learn according to the syllabus what is listed 
by  ASHA:
-American  Speech-Language-Hearing Association. (2002). Knowledge and skills
needed by  speech-language pathologists providing services to individuals  
with
swallowing and/or feeding disorders. - Our clinical practicum placements  are 
in a variety of setting which include areas in Swallowing and Feeding  
Disorders. Educational background paired with hands on training is  much needed when 
working with this population. We also must meet ASHA's  knowledge and skill 
level standards in order to work with this  population.
