***Includes a new chapter on pediatric swallowing and feeding disorders.*** The diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders continues to evolve into a major medical discipline that traverses multiple medical specialties, especially speech-language pathology and otolaryngology. Clinical Management of Swallowing Disorders, Third Edition is a core textbook that addresses the needs of those who will treat swallowing disorders as well as clinicians who currently treat swallowing disorders in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, and private outpatient clinics. The essential aspects of dysphagia management are presented in a format that both beginners and clinicians needing a practical update on dysphagia will find useful. The third edition has been extensively revised and expanded, and now includes an entirely new chapter on pediatric feeding and swallowing. Heavily revised chapters on surgical treatment of dysphagia and nutritional aspects of swallowing are also new features. The glossary has been expanded to offer a comprehensive list of definitions of swallowing-related diseases and disorders.The authors, a speech-language pathologist and and otolaryngologist, each bring their specific contributions to this highly successful textbook. A workbook and CD are also available to aid instructors in the delivery of content and to enhance and reinforce student comprehension.
