Abstract

Overall, the survey findings indicate growing recognition of the increasing demand for speech-language pathology services for older adults in India in the coming years, particularly for cognitive-communication and swallowing disorders. The survey highlights the need for the inclusion of courses related to the communication and swallowing needs of older adults in the graduate curriculum, specialised training in the use of evidence-based practices for addressing age-related conditions and greater use of technology to improve service delivery.
