As the number of older adults increases, so does the need for informed, ethical dysphagia care. In this episode, Renee is joined by Dr. Luis Riquelme, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, to explore what current research tells us about the connection between dementia and swallowing disorders.
They’ll break down recent physiologically-based studies, discuss how those findings translate into best practices, and examine how to support both safety and quality of life. You’ll walk away with insights that can strengthen your clinical reasoning and guide thoughtful decision-making in the face of complex swallowing concerns.
Perfect for SLPs looking to align dysphagia care with evidence and ethics when working with individuals with dementia.
