Adult Swallowing Groups

We're excited to introduce our upcoming adult swallowing group sessions. These groups are designed to provide a supportive, educational, and interactive environment for adults experiencing swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) or those interested in learning more about swallowing health.

Our swallowing groups offer:

1. Education on swallowing anatomy and physiology

2. Practical strategies for safe swallowing

3. Guided practice of swallowing exercises

4. Peer support and shared experiences

5. Q&A sessions with our experienced speech pathologists

These group sessions are open to both current clients and individuals from the community who are interested in improving their swallowing function or learning more about dysphagia management. They serve as an excellent complement to individual therapy, allowing participants to practice skills in a social setting and learn from others' experiences.

Participating in these groups can help:

- Improve understanding of your swallowing condition

- Enhance swallowing safety and efficiency

- Increase confidence in managing dysphagia

- Provide a supportive network of individuals with similar experiences

Our speech pathologists will facilitate these sessions, ensuring that each participant receives guidance and support while engaging in educational activities and exercises.

To register your interest in these groups, simply contact us through our website, email, or phone. Please provide the following information:

• Your name

• Your age

• Any specific swallowing concerns or diagnoses

• Any food allergies or dietary restrictions

We'll add you to our mailing list and inform you of upcoming group sessions via email, keeping communication to a minimum and only when necessary.

Useful tip: Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for individuals with dysphagia. Brush teeth at least twice daily, and if recommended by your healthcare provider, use an antiseptic mouthwash. This can help prevent complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

We look forward to welcoming you to our adult swallowing groups and supporting you on your journey to improved swallowing function and overall well-being.
