Clinical Management of the Unmotivated Patient: “Ugh! He doesn’t care about therapy!”
Methods for assessing, understanding and intervening with patients who demonstrate reduced or minimal participation in dysphagia therapy are discussed in this course. The Transtheoretical Model (aka Stages of Change) and principles of Motivational Interviewing are described and applied to case examples to help clinicians identify barriers to progress, evaluate treatment readiness, and plan swallowing intervention.

Aging in Place: It Takes a Team
Aging in place is the goal of most elders, but it may require a great deal of support. The impact of normal aging on various systems and the differences between frail and well elders are described in this course. Information and interventions are discussed that allow interprofessional team members to support functional mobility, nutrition and hydration, and health management in their geriatric clients, in order to promote successful aging.

Thickened Liquids in Clinical Practice: The Plot “Thickens”
Clinicians who utilize thickened liquids in their clinical practice are aware of their benefits, but what about the risks and contraindications? Advantages and disadvantages of thickened liquids are reviewed in this course with a focus on clinical outcomes, including impacts on medication administration, lung health, and hydration. Product types are evaluated to facilitate appropriate choices for individual clients.

Swallowing Function: Differentiating Typical Variations from Pathological Impairment
Motor variability refers to the natural variation that occurs in repeated task movements. Evidence for this task variability in swallowing, and how it can be influenced by age-related changes (presbyphagia), are described in this course. Discussion includes ways to improve diagnostic accuracy by using this information to differentiate typical variation from true impairment in swallowing performance.
