would like more specific checklists for students
Information was good overall, but the writing style was extremely technical. It was hard for me to sgtay focused...I wonder how undergrads would do!?
Practical and informative from a diagnostic as well as management perspective; the only "stand alone" text for dysphagia.
Very well organized, good clinically relevant chapters, wide range of experts.
Much improved over previous edition; glad to see a section on MBS; would like to see swallowing problems in TBI discussed.
The "edited" nature (vs. "authored") of the book makes it less appropriate for students -- they need a systematic and integrated text; good reference.
