Patients and Caregivers:

We want to hear your stories. Living with dysphagia can be emotionally challenging and isolating. With approximately 29 million people in the United States facing this disorder, know that you are not alone. Share your experiences, coping strategies, and tips for improving your quality of life. Your voice matters, and it can inspire others navigating similar journeys.

Speech Language Pathologists:

Establish a Dysphagia Support Group in your community. For more information, visit our support group page. We encourage you to share this resource with your patients and “Like” our page on Facebook. We continually update our site with swallowing exercises, nutrition tips, and additional resources to assist those dealing with swallowing disorders.

BCS-S (Board Certified Specialist-Swallowing):
