How many people with intellectual disabilities experience dysphagia? Do you have information on this? Can you help?

IHaL is planning to undertake a systematic review of published research on dysphagia in people with intellectual disabilities. They are looking at how many people with intellectual disabilities experience dysphagia, the health implications of dysphagia, and how dysphagia can be managed.

They will search electronic databases to identify published research from 1990 onwards.  If you are aware of any research that is ‘in press’ or already published that you think is relevant, they  would be very grateful if you could contact them.
