The aim of these guidelines is to provide clinicians, managers and
service users with statements regarding the clinical management of
specific disorders or conditions and in some instances, particular
populations. The guidelines assist in the clinical decision-making
process by providing information on what is considered to be the
minimum best practice. Each guideline contains recommendations that
are explicit statements providing specific clinical guidance on the
assessment and management of each area. Each recommendation is
supported by evidence from the literature or is based upon the
consensus of clinical experts. Sections include: Pre-School
children with communication, language speech needs; School-aged
children with speech, language communication difficulties; Autistic
spectrum disorders; Cleft palate and velopharyngeal abnormalities;
Clinical voice disorders; Deafness/hearing loss; Disorders of
fluency; Disorders of feeding, eating, drinking swallowing
(dysphagia); Disorders of mental health dementia; Dysarthria;
Aphasia; Head neck cancer. A Position Statement on working with
Adults with Learning Disabilities is included in place of a
guideline. Every practising UK speech language therapist needs to
have access to these guidelines, and they will also be of value to
health, social and educational professionals that may become
involved with individuals who have a communication or swallowing
disorder.
