      abstract = {The book offers a comprehensive approach to the assessment  and treatment of disturbances in facial expression, oral  movement, swallowing, breathing, voice and speech  production caused by developmental and acquired  neurological conditions. The principles outlined are used  in patients with different etiologies (e.g. stroke, tumors,  traumas). F.O.T.T., developed by Kay Coombes, is a hands-on  approach based on an understanding of neurological  functions and the way we learn from experience. The  approach aims to give the patient experience of  physiological posture and movement using facial-oral  functions in normal activities of daily living (ADL).  Rather than mere "exercises", F.O.T.T involves meaningful  activities aiming to promote participation, according to  ICF criteria. Four main areas are covered: nutrition, oral  hygiene, nonverbal communication and speech. Each chapter  summarises the problems of severely ill patients and shows  the clinical reasoning behind the solutions offered.  Separate chapters discuss tracheostomy management and the  training of the carers involved, including relatives. The  chapter authors are experienced specialists (physio-,  occupational- and speech-language therapists and  physicians), whose contributions aim to provide  interdisciplinary perspectives and translate latest  research into clinical practice},
