About

An invaluable text for dysphagia courses in speech-language pathology programs, Dysphagia Assessment and Treatment Planning: A Team Approach, Fifth Edition integrates the fundamentals of aerodigestive tract anatomy and physiology with objective assessment techniques and multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Contributors from speech-language pathology, otolaryngology, and gastroenterology present a variety of perspectives across domains of the professionals who serve patients with swallowing disorders. The in-depth, evidence-based assessment techniques and treatment models represent the most current dysphagia research and best practices. The book’s organization reflects the progression of most graduate-level dysphagia courses, with assessment techniques presented in the first half and special populations discussed in the latter half.

The fifth edition has been thoroughly updated, with expanded references, perspectives on recently published literature reviews, and additional figures and tables. The authors have also added new pedagogical features and content revisions:

Treatment approaches have been updated to include new material on neuroplasticity, chin tuck against resistance (CTAR), and prophylactic strategies.
A new chapter on telehealth and dysphagia is available on the companion website and in the ebook version.
The chapter on endoscopy has been enhanced and expanded.
The chapters on fluoroscopy have been streamlined and condensed.
A new chapter focuses on the impact of dysphagia on the airway and how artificial airways may affect swallowing function.
The most recent nutrition guidelines have been updated, with a special focus on integration of texture modifications and dietary preferences with optimal nutrition.
The pediatrics chapter now provides a detailed discussion of thickeners and adequate nutrition.
End-of-chapter reflection questions have been updated.
Effective and well-documented examples of specific treatments have been included as supplementary boxes.
Additional videos with case studies are available on the companion website.

ALSO AVAILABLE!
A separate companion workbook for students, Dysphagia Assessment and Treatment Planning Workbook, Fifth Edition is also available for purchase. The workbook includes practical exercises aligned with each chapter of the textbook. The activities and questions are designed to clarify and expand on information presented in the text and should be of interest not only to students but also to practicing clinicians seeking fresh approaches. The workbook has been thoroughly updated to reflect the new organization and content of the textbook.

Reviews

"Now in its fifth edition, the textbook is tailored primarily for novice to intermediate clinicians but also serves as a valuable reference for more experienced practitioners working in dysphagia management."

— Jessica Tam, Lydia Natsis, and Katrina Blyth, in Resource review, Journal of Clinical Practice in Speech-Language Pathology (July 2024)

Rebecca Leonard

Rebecca Leonard, PhD, CCC-SLP, is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of California, Davis, and former Clinical Director of the Voice-Speech-Swallowing Center in the ENT Clinic. Dr. Leonard continues to be actively involved in research activities associated with the center. Her research interests include normal and disordered swallowing, changes in swallowing across the life span, development of quantitative radiographic techniques to assess the upper airway and esophagus during swallowing, aversive effects on structures of the upper airway associated with environmental stimuli (ozone), and the effects of ablative procedures on voice, speech, and swallowing and the rehabilitation of these effects with prosthetic appliances and reconstructive procedures. Her MS and PhD degrees are from Purdue University, and she is a Fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
