Beyond the Bolus: Redefining the Oral Phase as a Neural Driver in Swallow Rehabilitation
November 10, 2025 | 0.1 Intermediate ASHA CEUs/1 PDH
Beyond the Bolus: Redefining the Oral Phase as a Neural Driver in Swallow Rehabilitation highlights the oral phase of swallowing as an active neural driver, not just a preparatory step. Participants will explore the mouth-brain connection, including neural pathways such as the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) and nucleus ambiguus (NA), and learn how reduced oral sensory input can impair swallow efficiency. The presentation will offer evidence-based strategies for assessing oral-phase deficits and the use of sensory-rich textures and interventions to restore coordination and promote functional recovery.
