Many outcome measurement tools were designed for an acute or inpatient settings and are not sensitive enough to pick up the small and specific changes that we see in many adults living with chronic dysphagia.

​

Therefore, in this speed session some of the things I will cover will include:

​

✓ how to conduct a semi-structured interview for goal setting

✓ what tools can be used to measure small changes in progress

✓ provide example dysphagia goals that extend beyond the impairment

​

​

This webinar includes:

* 20 min presentation

* 10 mins Q&A time

​

Bonus resource included:

- Dysphagia Goal Prompt Sheet (1 page resource)
