This practical guide provides a hands-on approach to diagnosis and management of swallowing disorders, designed to help readers establish

treatment options evolve logically from the preceding chapters. Easy-to-read discussions simplify complex issues. Both authors are nationally
recognized leaders in the field, and readers will benefit from the expert clinical tips they provide in this manual.
