Why we know this works

We love this course because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we sit through a lot of mealtimes where a well-meaning helper does too much, too fast. How do you know if a loved one has trouble swallowing? The signs are often quiet: coughing or throat clearing during meals, a wet-sounding voice, food held in the mouth too long. This half hour video teaches feeding techniques and safety, how to give just the right amount of help so the person stays involved in their own meal, and how to recognize the common signs of swallowing problems.

It is especially important for caregivers of stroke survivors, people with dementia or Parkinson's, and anyone who has started coughing at meals. If choking or repeated chest infections are already happening, this course is not enough on its own: ask the doctor for a swallowing evaluation first, then use this training to make everyday meals safer.
