Abstract
Speech and swallowing are two functions that take place within the stomatognathic system, so they share the same muscles and organs for performace. This implies the existence of an oral interrelationand, therefore, reciprocity in their development. The main objective of this study was to assess the effects of a rehabilitation program of the oral phase of swallowing in speech production in a case of severe head trauma. The data showed a significant improvement in swallowing and articulation.
