From the editor Leigha Dark

Contents

W elcome to the November 2018 issue of J CPSLP and the theme “Nutrition, swallowing, mealtimes: Recipes for success”. As speech-language pathologists we are aware of the importance of safe, nutritious, and enjoyable mealtimes. An integral part of our role is ensuring that people with swallowing problems have access to the nutrition and hydration they require, foods and fluids are prepared in accordance with individual abilities, needs and preferences, and supports are offered

in such a way as to promote participation, autonomy and quality of life. We are privileged in this issue to be able to take a biopsychosocial, lifespan approach to this theme and share perspectives not only from speech- language pathologists, but also colleagues from dietetics and special needs dentistry. Personally, I feel very gratified to share this broad and comprehensive issue with you as my last issue as Editor of JCPSLP . I have greatly enjoyed my time working with all members of the editorial, production and publication teams, and with each author and contributor. Taking over from me as Editor is Dr Jae-Hyun Kim. I am very pleased to welcome Jae to the role and wish him and the team all the best as they continue to develop and shape the journal over the next couple of years. To open this issue, Josephine Ohenewa Bampoe shares her reflections on her international visit to Australia as a recipient of the Speech Pathology Australia Majority World Countries and Developing Communities Grant Scheme scholarship. Kate Ross, Jane Bickford and Ingrid Scholten present new findings about Australian SLPs’ perceptions and use of the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF). Rebecca Murphy, Kirsty Harrison, and Celia Harding discuss the decision-making processes of SLPs introducing oral feeding for infants on high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy. Joanne Murray, Allison Barker and Sebastian Doeltgen offer a review of current literature on free water protocols to stimulate discussion within the profession of barriers preventing uptake of this strategy. Maria Schwarz and colleagues follow with insights from the experience of implementing standardised mouth cares and a free water protocol in a metropolitan hospital rehabilitation unit. In the first of several inter- professional perspectives in this issue, Mathew Wei Ting Lim, special needs dentist, describes practical strategies for safely providing individualised oral care to patients with dysphagia. Simone Howells and her colleagues share their process of developing a dysphagia friendly cookbook as part of the “Dysphagia Kitchen” student learning experience. And finally, Claire Xiaochi Zhang and Emma Crawford present the findings of a service evaluation investigating cultural responsiveness within a paediatric hospital setting. In addition to the varied and illuminating articles in this issue of JCPSLP is the inaugural “Viewpoints” column, which replaces the longstanding “Webwords”. In this new column the theme of the issue will be explored from an alternative but complementary perspective to speech-language pathology. In November, we welcome dietitians Adrienne Young, Elise Treleaven, and Anna Farrell as they discuss “Nutrition, swallowing, mealtimes: Dietitians’ perspectives on recipes for success”. It is hoped that these perspectives, and in future issues, those of other multidisciplinary colleagues and stakeholders, will continue to challenge and stimulate our practice as speech-language pathologists.
