This accessible resource offers valuable guidance for all student and practising speech and language therapists (SLTs) who are working with older people with communication and swallowing difficulties.

Promoting a holistic approach for ageing well, this resource dispels myths that surround the ageing process while detailing the normal physiological and psychological effects of ageing on communication and swallowing, as well as diseases and conditions associated with older age, such as frailty.
