Everyone’s
doing it...
but
no one’s
talking
about it.
Like breathing,
swallowing
is essential to
everyday life. Humans swallow at least
900
times a day
: around
three times an hour
during sleep
,
once per minute while awake
and
even more often during meals
.
Speech pathologists are the professionals who
assess and treat people across the lifespan
with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
