The Swallowing Disorder Program

The Swallowing Disorder Program is a specialized approach designed to help individuals who have difficulty swallowing, a condition known as dysphagia. The program assesses the specific causes of the swallowing problem and develops personalized therapy plans to improve safety and efficiency during swallowing. This may involve exercises, dietary modifications, and techniques to strengthen or coordinate the muscles involved. The goal is to reduce the risk of choking, improve nutrition, and enhance overall quality of life. The program often involves a multidisciplinary team, including speech-language pathologists, to ensure comprehensive care tailored to each patient's needs.
