Looking beyond dysphagia with critical aspiration risk and inadequate nutrition, many aspects of swallowing disorders can negatively impact quality of life.  This talk will review anatomy and physiology that leads to sensations such as globus as well as discuss medical, behavioral, and manual management of such disorders. 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will be able to describe laryngeal anatomy/physiology changes, or potential lack thereof, that result in non-critical dysphagia.
  2. Participants will be able to describe medical, behavioral, and manual management of non-critical dysphagia.
  3. Participants will identify non-critical aspects of swallowing disorders that may still have a negative impact on the quality of life.
