Dysphagia Care Plan, Education, and Best Practices for Your Staff, 2nd Edition - Tuesday, October 6th, 2026, 4:00pm - 8:00pm ET

Course Overview Staff education on feeding, thickening liquids, strategies, and precautions is part of our job as speech pathologists or occupational therapists. If we don’t provide this information, the lack of staff education and knowledge may result in choking, aspiration events, or worse. Studies document staff education is often nonexistent or very general. This seminar will identify specific recommendations and rationale for their use. These strategies are critical for staff and families to follow during meals. If there’s a lack of understanding or follow-through, the patient can be at risk. The resource handout provides useful information to construct patient-specific care plans for use in your facility, outpatient, or home health settings to maintain adequate nutrition and hydration and improve patient safety with oral intake.
