Share Your Story

Swallowing disorders are estimated to impact 510 million people worldwide. We invite you to share your swallowing disorder story because there are many who are unaware of the significant impact dysphagia has on an individual and their loved ones.

We know dysphagia can be devastating. To help us raise awareness during National Dysphagia Awareness Month (June), we are inviting those impacted by swallowing disorders and their families to share their story with us. We encourage sharing a message of hope, positivity, and perseverance. Together, we will raise awareness and work to find better treatment options for all types of swallowing disorders.

Example from Prior Year:

If you or a loved one is impacted by difficulty swallowing, we invite you to share your story. Sharing your story raises awareness of the prevalence and impact of dysphagia, provides support to others, and offers hope to others facing similar experiences.
