This course is the second of a two part series that provides the learner with the knowledge and skills to implement tongue pressure strength training as a treatment for dysphagia. Applying the skills developed in the first course to measure tongue strength, this course begins by training the participant to design a tongue strength training program by evaluating existing training regimens. The course then moves to a discussion of the effectiveness of tongue strength training for a variety of populations, and concludes with a discussion session around the efficacy and research needs on the topic of tongue pressure strength training.
