  • Dementia and Troubles Swallowing: How to Feed Your Loved One

    Dementia can result in difficulties with walking, talking, and thinking. Difficulties with eating and swallowing, or dysphagia, can also occur and this can result in troubles with nutrition, hydration, UTI, and respiratory infections. Symptoms of dysphagia include coughing, wet sounding voice, sensation of food sticking, food in mouth after eating, and slow intake. This course will provide foundational knowledge to understand this part of the disease process and how a speech language pathologist can provide support, resources, and therapy to manage symptoms for the person with dementia and their caregiver. An informational handout will be provided with the course for participants to take home.
