Abstract:
Many children of all ages with swallowing disorders now receive at least part of their swallowing therapy in the public schools.

Other therapy issues discussed include the relationship of the feeding process to swallowing therapy, the schedule of therapy, and maintenance programs as compared to therapy. Clinicians are also provided with a number of references for additional reading on therapy procedures.
