From the Speech Therapy Area, training has been carried out for the professionals of the occupational centers and the residence of Aspace.
The topic to be discussed on this occasion was FOOD and DYSPHAGIA in Cerebral Palsy.
The objectives we have worked on have been to provide the most relevant information to unify global attention in relation to food , to give importance to food as a source of pleasure, socialization, communication, learning. Dysphagia in Cerebral Palsy and its consequences at the level of nutrition and swallowing.
Give tools and strategies to favor all the most relevant aspects that are part of food. And take into account the comprehensive approach of the multidisciplinary team and the family at all stages of the life of the person we serve.
Therefore, the PERSON is always the fundamental axis in our daily practice during all its stages of development.
We have presented the poster “LET'S EAT WELL” , we have made a simple explanation of what “Feeding” means in the most effective and safe way possible. We have taken into account relevant aspects such as; rehabilitation guidelines, promoting autonomy, taking care of the environment, warning signs, taking care of posture, the multidisciplinary team and the family to improve the quality of life. The text is accompanied by icons (drawings) created by ASPACET.
