June is National Dysphagia Awareness Month!
💙 See this infographic for key takeaways from my Intro Blog to my 4-part series this June: https://swallowstudy.com/dysphagia-awareness-month-swallowing-disorders/

💙 Here is an excerpt:

"Dysphagia doesn't discriminate. It affects everyone from premature infants to the elderly. However, the causes of dysphagia define the treatment. Performing a good comprehensive dysphagia evaluation is the first step in treatment, as the medical team needs to figure out what are the underlying causes of this symptom known as dysphagia. Then, the foundation of dysphagia treatment/management is a person-centered care approach. You are at the center of your medical team. You should review findings with your medical team and seek answers to all your questions before making informed decisions about your care."
