Difficulty or discomfort in swallowing is commonly referred to as Dysphagia. While the treatment for dysphagia is managed by more than one group of specialists, we (Speech and Language Therapists) specialise in swallowing disorders.
To treat swallowing difficulties, we follow a meticulous strategy based on a thorough evaluation which we design closely with the other specialists. With that in mind, some of the interventions we use include texture modification of foods, thickening fluids and positioning changes during swallowing.
