Not all SLPs believed that 10 years ago. There are numerous SLPs who
were and continue to be "on top of things."

This discussion is amusing to those of us who have been on this mail
list for some years. In 1995, when I first naively intimated that one
must consider the function of the esophagus and its influence on
oropharyngeal dysphagia I was inundated with messages to the effect that
this was not the role of the SLP, that all that was required was
examination as far as the entrance to the airway etc.etc. - check the
archives if they go back that far.
It has taken only about ten years to get this message across. Now, I
hope that it won't take another ten to stop the over emphasis on
aspiration.
