The Dysphagia Research Society is organized exclusively for charitable, educational and scientific purposes.
What is dysphagia? Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing. We swallow about 600 times a day and don't even think twice about it. Swallowing is something we all take for granted – that is, until a problem occurs. In 2008, June was declared National Dysphagia Awareness Month, to help raise awareness and improve the lives of those living with dysphagia. #DysphagiaAwareness #DRS #dysphagia #dysphagiaresearch #science #research #swallowingdisorders #scientists

4moBoth of my beloved parents experienced this devastating consequence. My mom initially following a stroke and my dad after an extended period of immobility and deconditioning following a COVID infection during the height of the pandemic. They’re both gone now and the impact, especially for my Dad was devastating.
