MYTH BUSTER!

'Recommended diets are forever, and modified diets should be your first point of call.'



At Speak and Swallow, we challenge this.
Dysphagia management isn’t about defaulting to restriction. It’s about clinical reasoning, ongoing review, client choice, and prioritising the least restrictive, safest option for each individual.

Because recommendations should evolve with the person, not define them. 💬

Your voice matters more than you think 🗣️💙

World Voice Day is a global celebration of the human voice and its role in communication, expression, and connection.

This year’s theme, “Caring for Our Voices,” is a reminder that our voices are essential not just for speaking, but for how we show up in the world every day.

Here at Speak and Swallow, we see firsthand how voice impacts a person's ability to communicate, work, and engage in meaningful activities.

Voice difficulties can affect anyone, from those with diagnosed voice disorders to individuals experiencing changes following illness, injury, or prolonged voice use.

World Voice Day is a reminder to prioritise vocal health and to recognise when a voice change may need further support.

Because every voice deserves to be heard.🗣️

Swallowing awareness is central to our work at Speak and Swallow, but it extends beyond food and fluids.💙

Saliva management is an area that is often under-recognised in clinical practice, particularly when it falls between disciplines.

And yet, the implications are far-reaching from airway safety and respiratory health to communication, comfort, and dignity.

Building awareness across teams is essential.
Because early identification, and the right referral at the right time, can make a meaningful difference.

April is Autism Awareness Month, and today is Autism Awareness Day.💙

As speech pathologists, we see every day that communication looks different for everyone - and that’s something to be valued and supported, not changed.

This month is about moving beyond just awareness, and towards acceptance, understanding, and inclusion.

Let’s keep creating spaces where all voices are heard, respected, and supported.

✨ Amplify autistic voices - today and every day.

Ever heard of Vocal Cord Dysfunction? 🗣️

Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD) is a condition where the vocal cords don’t open and close as they should, which can make breathing feel difficult and sometimes be mistaken for asthma.

💡 Did you know that up to 30% of people diagnosed with asthma may actually have Vocal Cord Dysfunction?

The good news is that VCD can be assessed and managed with the right support. At Speak and Swallow Speech Therapy, we use instrumental assessment (Functional Laryngoscopy) alongside targeted voice therapy to help you better understand and manage your symptoms.
