What is Swallowing Therapy Session? Read the full explainer →

Swallowing Therapy Session

This is swallowing therapy: a session with a speech-language pathologist aimed at the muscles and reflexes used to eat and drink safely, rather than at speech. It is ordered when food or liquid is going down badly — or going the wrong way — after a stroke, with a neurological condition, or after treatment for head and neck cancer.
