Clinical Swallowing Assessment and Treatment

At Life Beyond Barriers Rehabilitation Group, we provide a thorough assessment of a person’s oral motor structures, cranial nerve involvement and a person’s ability to safely swallow foods and liquids. Strategies and exercises are individually constructed to best treat the individual with dysphagia (swallowing problems) and reduce the risk of aspiration or penetration. This may include modifications of diets or liquids, teaching various maneuvers for improving swallow efficiency, caregiver training, and/or further referral to address more complex issues.

Common conditions and diagnoses we treat resulting in dysphagia:

Dysphagia

Esophageal dysmotility

Achalasia

Parkinsons

Dementia

Multiple Sclerosis

Stroke

Traumatic Brain injury
