Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, is a common and serious issue in older adults. Our exhibition booth aims to raise awareness and provide practical education on dysphagia for the public. We will cover:
Understanding Dysphagia: What it is, its prevalence in the elderly, and common signs and symptoms.
Simple Strategies for Safe Swallowing: Practical tips for caregivers and individuals, including proper eating posture, food modification techniques (e.g., thickening liquids, pureeing solids), and mindful eating practices.
When to Seek Professional Help: Emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention by speech-language pathologists, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals.
Our goal is to empower attendees with knowledge and tools to identify, manage, and prevent dysphagia-related complications, promoting safer eating and better health outcomes for older adults.
