“I have learned so much. STEP has helped me become a better and more confident
clinician. I am so excited to continue learning. Thank you so much!”

Cristina Vargas

“I am the type of student that learns best on my own, especially with videos,
where I can pause, go back, make notes, and replay many times over. After
finishing this course, I do not feel as anxious as I did about swallowing. The
Normal Swallow material is presented clearly, in a concise way, and helped me
think critically. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this. ”

pace, visual representation, and conclusion at each section yield higher
retention. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
