Great wee straightforward myth-busting read from powerhouses in the field. Any of Palmer’s (esp BOLUS framework) and Leslie’s (esp ethics) work is well worth a read for any dysphagia clinician.

Sobering food for thought: “..SLPs..may not possess the knowledge necessary to adequately inform patients about the health outcomes associated with MTDs”. If we don’t know or communicate adequate information about MTDs to our patients, we are unable to fulfil our duty to obtain informed consent.
