Swallowing Difficulties (Dysphagia)

Swallowing Difficulties (Dysphagia)

Dysphagia means difficulty with eating, drinking or swallowing. This can happen for many reasons, including prematurity, muscle weakness, cleft palate, neurological conditions or sensory differences.

Speech and language therapists assess eating and drinking and support safer, more comfortable mealtimes.
