| Abstrakt: | This paper describes stakeholder perspectives on good practice in dysphagia support in the disability service context. Twelve adults with dysphagia were interviewed. Twenty-four allied health professionals, sixteen family members and seventeen disability support workers (DSWs) completed a questionnaire and three focus groups for DSWs were conducted. Results indicated overwhelming support for a range of service improvements including mandatory training for support workers. Findings will be used to inform an organisational dysphagia support standard and to promote service reform. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
