In 2015, KRSD Communication Tools published “Educational Video for Individuals with Dysphagia: Exercises and Maneuvers to Help with Swallowing Difficulties,” a home therapy program created by three speech-language pathologists (Dondorf, Fabus, and Gatzonis) for use by both clinicians and patients.

This 12-minute video describes and provides demonstrations of multiple swallowing exercises, maneuvers, and compensatory strategies that are commonly prescribed for patients with dysphagia.
