Canadian Dysphagia Support Group

We are running a monthly, free, virtual support group for individuals with swallowing difficulties and their caregivers  

While this is not a replacement for medical or psychological advice, it can be a valuable resource to help adult patients and their caregivers make connections with others facing similar challenges. The group is currently being moderated by Zuleikha Wadhwaniya, Ashwini Namasivayam-MacDonald, Sophia Werden Abrams, and Keara Boyce, all licensed speech-language pathologists in Ontario.  

Requirements for participation: 

• Must be an adult with swallowing difficulties or the family caregiver of an adult with swallowing difficulties (no clinicians or other healthcare workers) 

• Must reside within Canada 

• Must have access to a computer/tablet/phone with high-speed internet with a microphone and webcam 

• Must be available for the entirety of the 75-minute session
