Created to assist students in speech-language pathology graduate programs, the Dysphagia Assessment and Treatment Planning Workbook: A Team Approach, Fifth Edition facilitates knowledge retention and supports skill development as a companion to Dr. Rebecca Leonard and Dr. Katherine Kendall’s Dysphagia Assessment and Treatment Planning: A Team Approach, Fifth Edition textbook. Practical exercises and application activities, drawn from Dr. Julie Barkmeier-Kraemer’s experience teaching and training graduate students and colleagues in dysphagia, are included in the workbook to increase understanding of and engagement with each chapter in the associated textbook.

The workbook features quiz questions, figure labeling, case-based problem solving, application of videofluoroscopic and FEES measures or ratings, and report writing practice. Answers or model responses are provided at the end of the workbook for the reader’s reference. The exercises are designed to clarify and expand on information presented in the textbook and should be of interest not only to students but also to practicing clinicians seeking fresh approaches.

The activities and questions provided in the Dysphagia Assessment and Treatment Planning Workbook, Fifth Edition will help readers improve their understanding and implementation of clinical instruction in the area of dysphagia. They have been fully updated to align with the content of the new edition of the textbook.
