SmallTalk Dysphagia

       iOS iPhone

Designed for people with dysphagia, an impairment of the ability to swallow, SmallTalk Dysphagia provides a vocabulary of pictures and icons that talk in a natural human voice.

SmallTalk Dysphagia contains 50 phrases that cover eating equipment, meal assistance, diet, liquids, medications, and compensatory treatment techniques. It also contains four demonstration videos of treatment techniques commonly used for swallowing.

This app lets you take along the words and phrases you need to communicate your swallowing needs.

SmallTalk Dysphagia was created by Lingraphica and authored by Elizabeth Begley, MA, CCC-SLP, and Mary Pitti, MS, CCC-SLP.
