- Abstract
Dysphagia intervention commonly utilises texture modification. However, this presents challenges for patients and caregivers who report that preparation of texture-modified meals is cumbersome, time consuming, costly and frustrating. Currently, few resources are available to remedy these challenges and many are costly and outdated. Speechlanguage pathologists (SLPs) educate and support patients and caregivers, as well as food service staff, in the implementation of modified textures. Preparing SLP students for this area of the workforce is important. This article presents a two-phase "Plan, do, study, act" quality improvement cycle undertaken by SLP students in the development of a dysphagia-friendly cookbook. It begins with students experimenting with recipe design, presenting the recipes to staff and peers for auditing during a kitchen learning experience, and progressing with recipe testing to development of a cookbook. Beyond the Blender: Dysphagia Made Easy is a free, downloadable cookbook for patients, families and SLPs.
