Mealtimes & Dysphagia (Difficulty swallowing)

MAKING MEALTIMES SAFE AND ENJOYABLE

When someone suffers from swallowing difficulties, this is known medically as dysphagia. It impacts kids and adults for a broad range of reasons, and it can be extremely frustrating – not to mention scary – to manage!

So, what can be done?
