This course, with Dr. Stephanie Daniels, reviews the components of the clinical swallowing examination (CSE), with a particular focus on the cranial nerve assessment. Participants will review how the CSE fits into the overall schema of swallowing evaluation, and the key findings and recommendations that are addressed by the CSE. This information includes steps for collecting background on patient history, knowledge of communication and cognition, and determinants of swallowing function.
