The Dysphasia Diet Protocol (DDP) Guidelines Help clients determine the mechanical soft diet prescribed for them. These simple, easy-to-read guidelines have been prepared especially for dysphagia diets. They describe a prescribed diet (preface) as well as liquids, puree, mechanical soft and soft diets. Each diet outlines appropriate consistencies of food and foods to be avoided. The brightly colored sheets reduce explanation and instruction time and provide personalized diet plans immediately after a swallow study or upon discharge from the hospital. With these guidelines, upgrade or downgrade a dysphagia diet with minimal instruction. They also help improve consistency of dysphagia management. Each packet topic has 30 sheets. Available as a set in English or Spanish.
