Practical strategies for culturally safer care in dysphagia management (June 13, 2023)

Presented by: Kellyn Dailey Hall, Ph.D., CCC-SLP 

Working with diverse populations in healthcare involves more than navigating language barriers. It requires an understanding of the larger context of culture and diversity, why clients think the way they do, and why they might respond to dysphagia assessments and intervention options very differently from what we might expect.

This webinar will help you understand the impact of dysphagia on culturally/linguistically diverse populations and navigate ethical conflicts to provide culturally safer and responsive care. Practical strategies and resources will be presented to help prepare you to make meaningful connections with your diverse clients and gain a greater appreciation of the impact of culture on dysphagia management.

After taking part in this webinar, participants will be able to: 

1. Define the cultural influence of food on dysphagia management.
2. List the sociocultural barriers to ethical care.
3. List strategies and resources for increasing culturally responsive care in dysphagia management.
