Yes Irene. You are missing something.  If you yourself were an SLP, you'd
have answered your own question.

Someone recently poste a notice about a swallowing workshop as follows:

 

This workshop is designed to provide:

--knowledge and hands on experience with radiographic and clinical 

techniques for evaluation of swallowing problems in a variety of patients 

(including neurological and cancer patients)

--strategies for knowing when and how to implement interventions during 

radiographic studies and in therapy

--Guidelines for discontinuing alternate feeding techniques (gastrostomy and


nasogastric)

--observation and participation in evaluation of treatment of patients. 
  Extensive review  of video-taped x-ray swallowstudies will be provided.
   
  I must be missing something but, aren't these the very things that
practicing SLPs are supposed to already know - according to the ASHA
position papers?
