Get Approved & Join Our Community

Our mission at The Dysphagia Outreach Project is twofold.

Part one is to help provide assistance for those individuals for whom accessibility of dysphagia supplies is limited due to financial hardship.

The other part of our mission is to provide education and support to the dysphagia community at large about when it is appropriate to recommend and utilize these same supplies.

Since dysphagia affects individuals at any age, our goal is to advocate for support and awareness of issues related to dysphagia across the lifespan. We also aim to improve interdisciplinary team-building and cooperation to ensure that individuals with dysphagia, their family/caregivers, and their care team are all educated regarding evidence-based practice in swallowing and swallowing disorders.
