This learning program contains five self-paced learning modules in dysphagia rehabilitation. Topics include:

1. General principles of dysphagia rehabilitation
2. Navigating the C’s: Clinical, client and context challenges in dysphagia rehabilitation
3. Dysphagia rehabilitation in critical care: Advances in clinical practice
4. The role of pharyngeal high-resolution manometry in swallowing rehabilitation
5. Technology enhanced dysphagia services – current practices and future opportunities

The program authors recorded a Q&A panel session answering questions submitted by members after completing the self-paced materials. A recording of the panel is also included.

A/Professor Sebastian Doeltgen

Associate Professor Sebastian Doeltgen is lead of the Swallowing Neurorehabilitation Research Laboratory at the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Flinders University and a former NHMRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow. 

Sebastian evaluates the effects of exercise and experimental brain stimulation on the neural and biomechanical substrates of swallowing and explores clinical reasoning and decision-making processes engaged during bedside swallowing assessment. He is passionate about the development, evaluation and dissemination of evidence-based interventions for use in real world rehabilitation settings. 

To date, he has published 70+ original research articles and contributed to several invited reviews and book chapters. Sebastian contributes internationally through his leadership roles in the Dysphagia Research Society and professional development courses and teaches neuroanatomy and dysphagia sciences to Speech Pathology students at Flinders University.
