McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program

The McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program (MDTP) is a specialized approach designed to improve swallowing skills for individuals with dysphagia, a condition that makes swallowing difficult. Developed by Dr. JR McNeill, this evidence-based therapy focuses on exercises that strengthen the muscles involved in swallowing. It includes targeted practice with various food textures and swallowing techniques to help patients regain their ability to swallow safely and efficiently. MDTP aims to enhance the quality of life for those affected by dysphagia by promoting safe eating and drinking habits, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and related health issues.
