June is Dysphagia Awareness Month
National Dysphagia Awareness Month provides an excellent opportunity to raise awareness of feeding and swallowing disorders that can impact infants, children, adults, and families. This year there are many easy (and free) ways you can get involved:
- Follow the National Foundation of Swallowing Disorders’ Photo Fact of the Day Campaign on Facebook. Throughout the month of June, they will have daily sponsors of a Photo Fact who have pledged funds for each “share” a photo receives.
- Participate in the #ThickenedLiquidChallenge2017. SimplyThick will donate $50 per video to the NFOSD! See more information here: http://www.simplythick.com/Thickened-Liquid-Challenge-2017
- Use the hashtag #NationalDysphagiaAwarenessMonth when posting on social media.
These are just a few of the new things happening this month. Of course, there are other way to advocate all year long! If you are looking for more ideas, feel free to contact Dr. Shune.
