"The chance to revisit each component of the swallow with an unlimited amount of time and no timer to rush you along. I appreciated the many avenues available to refresh your memory and learning of the scoring criteria's. The process is thorough which I also appreciated as it cemented my learning. A well laid out easy to use system that is also very clever as it saves your progress as you go."  J.C. (Jan. 2022)

"The clinical team was very helpful with interpreting select case studies and frames. There were certain frames which led me to picking a corresponding answer. Thanks to Erin and Kate, I was able to understand and see differently. Being able to toggle back and forth from reliability to the training portions were very helpful, being able to check prior testing questions were helpful along with the component notes and handouts sent by the clinical team. The color coding and use of visual markers helped with seeing structures more easily. I also frequently used the magnifier feature, color contrast and inverter settings recommended by Tom which helped for select components. I also liked how this was self paced."  A.M. (Jan. 2022)

"Thank you for the consistent form of presentation, and I really appreciated the feedback from the expert raters! I liked breaking down and streamlining the components of swallowing in a sequential swallow pattern! Thank you for doing this work! The original MBSImP was transformative for me as a clinician working with older kiddos and adults, and now that I work in the NICU, this course couldn't have come at a better time. Our entire pediatric and NICU SLP staff are taking this course and we are happy to have clear cut verbiage/standards! We are excited to incorporate this into our documentation!" D.L. (Mar. 2025)

"I have a better understanding now of infant anatomy. I liked being able to watch real videos of MBSS." E.S. (Mar. 2025)

"It was very helpful to know which specific areas to assess within the study. Having started working with adult patients with dysphagia, there were often times where I noticed the similarities between adult and baby swallows. As such, I frequently wanted to comment on, for example, pharyngeal stripping wave or other measures of the swallow which are components on the BaByVFSImP; however; there is a culture within the infant swallowing world wherein noting similarities between adults and infants is almost looked down upon. Now, I can be confident that these areas are not only areas of adult dysfunction but also apply to babies. Additionally, I think this very specific and organized assessment tool will help me to be more precise with my therapeutic interventions. The overall format including a variety of resources (reading, visuals, videos, explanations, email help) with a step by step (learning, training, reliability) learning process was very conducive to learning." M.V. (Mar. 2025)

"Multiple video and visual descriptions. I liked the visual examples and ability to repeat the learning tasks." L.Q. (Mar. 2025)

"It was beneficial to discuss the principles of muscle training as they pertain to oral/pharyngeal muscles. I liked the thorough handouts to supplement the presenter's course." W.B. (Nov. 2024)

"The various rehab applications were helpful. I enjoyed the content." A.K. (Oct. 2024)

"Actually planning treatment for dysphagia was beneficial. I liked discussing specific measures to objectively measure progress." N.D. (Oct. 2024)

"I liked the case studies." M.D. (Oct. 2024)

"Appreciate the science behind HEP guidance in swallow exercises. Easily accessible. Great material." S.M. (Oct. 2024)

"The speaker was amazing and held my interest. The handouts were very beneficial, especially for such a complex topic. The discussion on slow twitch fibers, which are slow contracting, and the difference between high twitch fibers, which are fast contracting provided me with beneficial input for daily practice, to apply towards oral motor exercises." B.M. (Oct. 2024)

"Practical information to use in treatment. I liked the case studies." L.H. (Sep. 2024)
