Education and counseling are important components of Dysphagia Treatment. Both patients and their caregivers can benefit from information on safe eating techniques, dietary recommendations and strategies for managing this pathology in daily life. It is therefore essential to emphasize that therapy should be carried out by a multidisciplinary team composed of physicians, speech therapists, dieticians, occupational therapists and other health professionals. Working together, we seek to improve the patient's quality of life and minimize the risks associated with this condition, such as malnutrition and pulmonary aspiration. 

In some cases, assistive devices, such as prostheses or special utensils, may be used to facilitate nutrition and optimal swallowing. Furthermore, it is recommended to modify the patient's environment, adjusting the posture during meals and under adequate supervision to ensure a reliable intake. 

Consequently, TECH has developed a Postgraduate certificate in Dysphagia Treatment which is offered in a 100% online format, and with access to high quality multimedia resources. All these elements are consolidated in a digital library that, combined with the application of the Relearning method, will ensure that students acquire knowledge efficiently and obtain outstanding results, minimizing their effort to the maximum.
