"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.

"Everything was amazing. I needed this course so badly since we do not have a reliable test like BabyVFSImP in Middle East." R.A. (Jan. 2025)

"Functional scoring methods (i.e. the protocol allows for changing bottles/nipples). I love the ability to save and go back again while not losing progress. After watching so many video clips so intently, eye strain kicks in, so taking breaks is a must!" M.P. (Jan. 2025)

"It’s helpful to have the content of this course for pediatrics." N.M. (Jan. 2025)
