Dysphagia crosses the boundaries among many health-care disciplines, which is why the multidisciplinary approach is such a powerful tool in treating swallowing disorders. But smoothly functioning teams don't just happen; building bridges between disciplines requires education and a team-wide understanding of the perspectives and concerns of every member of the team.
