I found this course to be an excellent review of the 3 characteristics of oropharyngeal dysphagia in individuals with neurodegenerative disease. I found the discussion for assessment and therapeutic interventions of ALS and Parkinson's disease to be quite thorough. I also found the discussion regarding the focus on the patient's and caregiver's needs to be very important when providing management strategies and treatment planning.

I really took this course for more information on dysphagia with Parkinson's. Very disappointed that so little time was dedicated to that. I have had 1 ALS referral during my 22 year career and I see Parkinson's patients very very frequently. Maybe consider a separate Parkinson's course as I would like to delve a little deeper.

Excellent overview of ALS, and to a lesser extent Parkinson's in terms of gaining a knowledge base about treating these populations. Small clinical anecdotes about what she has observed in her clinic were also appreciated and contributed to her strong expertise in this area. I appreciate her candidness about what the evidence is and is not showing in regards to some treatment programs.

For me the ALS information was most helpful. I also appreciated the fact that the evidence for "dysphagia exercises" in this population is not necessary. Modification of textures and avoidance as long as possible of puree textures was good information. I usually based my texture recommendations along with the client/patient's wishes. I felt this was affirming of that decision.
