[Dysphagia] outcome measures

[sharon.manders at gmail.com (Sharon Manders)]

Thank you all for your help, I will forward all your responses to the
doc in charge. I love that I can ask therapists worldwide for help.

If anyone else has ideas for a general QOL/functional outcome tool -
please let me know as they are looking for something along those lines
as well.

Thanks again,

Sharon
