It is ! 👏🏼

A video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), otherwise known as a modified barium swallow study, is an assessment that objectively looks at your swallowing abilities and difficulties. The VFSS also assist speech therapists to make appropriate recommendations and develop individual swallow therapy plans.

During this non-invasive study, the speech therapist will provide different food consistencies and may trial different positions to see what aids your swallowing.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Whether it’s “lucky” or “linguistics,” we’re here to help your little leprechauns (and adults too!) find the right words and sounds.

Pictured here is the magic of bubbles meeting meaningful communication—where play sparks language and every pop is a chance to connect!

One thing most kids really love is bubbles! Using a PODD (Pragmatic Organisation Dynamic Display) book while playing with bubbles is a fantastic way to model language and encourage communication in a fun, motivating context. It gives children (and their communication partners) the chance to request, comment, and direct the play experience—turning simple fun into powerful learning.
