The swallowing disorder, Dysphagia, affects many people with Developmental Disabilities.  If ignored it can lead to dehydration and even death. This is a trainer workshop for trainers, and will provide a review of  the guidelines for training direct  support staff who support individuals with a known swallowing disorder,  individuals with altered texture diets, individuals with a behavior plan which addresses eating behaviors, food  stealing and pica, and  individuals who may be at risk for choking.
