- Discuss the common etiologies associated with pediatric swallowing disorders
- Identify muscles and physiological processes involved in swallowing
- Describe components involved in the comprehensive assessment and treatment of dysphagia
- Define and describe the properties of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and explain the impact on muscle tissue
- Define surface electromyography (sEMG) and describe function in analyzing and recording the electrical energy of muscle movement
- Determine the candidacy criteria for the use of NMES and sEMG as adjunct treatments of dysphagia in combination with traditional treatment approaches
- Discuss and demonstrate the application of the The Guardian Way® therapeutic protocol in the treatment of dysphagia
- Modify electrical stimulation parameters to maximize therapeutic outcomes for individual patients
