Patient Videos

Swallowing and swallowing disorders (dysphagia) are often poorly understood by patients, caregivers, and sometimes even clinicians. Dr. Ianessa Humbert, co-founder of the Swallowing Training and Education Portal (STEP), has created a free collection of engaging and informative videos to help everyone understand swallowing and dysphagia better. Below are 8 short videos that introduce individual topics. Scroll down to view each video:

  • Normal Swallowing
  • Swallowing in Older Adults
  • Clinical Swallowing Evaluation (CSE)
  • Modified Barium Swallow Studies (MBSS)
  • Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)
  • Aspiration
  • Residue
  • Swallowing Therapy
