As an SLP, we know that simply saying someone has dysphagia doesn’t really give us a ton of information. One of the first things we might wonder is which phase of swallowing is affected?
Does the person have a hard time keeping food in their mouth? Do they struggle with food and liquid entering the airway? Or maybe they always feel like food is stuck in their throat.
Not all dysphagia is the same, and I’m here today to dig a little bit deeper into three different phases of dysphagia - which in reality are not separate phases at all. They’re interrelated and should be considered a “continuum.”
Watch and Enjoy!
