This decision tool is intended to help identify those patients that could benefit from a swallowing instrumentation. Knowing what to do can sometimes be confusing, so its important to look at the whole picture. Not everyone needs an instrumentation, but if you do, its vital to get it scheduled and for the SLP to know what's going on.
As you answer the questions, each has a value that will calculate your risk and need to consider receiving a swallowing instrumentation.
