Furthermore, differences in curricula across various institutions highlight the need for standardized education in this area. This study aimed to assess changes in the knowledge and awareness levels of speech and language pathologists, as well as their opinions about the training, by organizing an educational programme focused on neurogenic communication and swallowing disorders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 5 days (40 h) of training was carried out over three weekends, with the participation of 40 expert academicians from 20 different institutions. The training was attended by 247 participants on the first day. Before and after the training, a 40\u2010question questionnaire was administered to measure the knowledge and awareness. One hundred and twenty\u2010nine participants filled out both tests. After the training was completed, a 12\u2010question evaluation questionnaire was applied to the participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The number of correct answers given by the participants who completed both the pre\u2010test and post\u2010test increased statistically significantly, from 19.09 \u00b1 3.81 to 21.43 \u00b1 3.67 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;\u00a00.001).
