CASLPA
Swallowing Awareness Day ~ May 9, 2011
Untreated feeding and swallowing disorders, also known as
dysphagia, can cause serious health issues, child and family
stress, social difficulties, and even life-threatening situations.
As part of a Swallowing Awareness Day initiative, CASLPA
has developed a series of resources, available in both official
languages, on youth/adult
and infant/child swallowing. Each package of materials includes
a swallowing fact sheet, a swallowing issue checklist and
an informational article.
These resources will also be on display in the poster presentation
hall at the CASLPA 2011 conference in Montreal.
