During the month of June, we want to bring awareness to those struggling with Dysphagia as well as encourage those who may unknowingly have it to seek help. Dysphagia is most commonly known as difficulty swallowing, and can often have many risks if people are not taught how to manage their symptoms. Dysphagia can occur in individuals of all ages and diagnoses, from those who have had strokes or traumatic brain injuries, to babies that are born premature. However, there is treatment available for those who suffer with it. In the link provided below, the National Foundation for Swallowing Disorders has outlined information for those with Dysphagia, as well as their caregivers, to ensure that everyone has access to the best available information.![]()
