Speech Pathologists work with people that have difficulty communicating and/or swallowing.

Sometimes speech pathologists recommend that people with difficulty swallowing drink thickened fluids. These go down your throat more slowly, and can reduce the risk of some people swallowing the wrong way.

For 24 hours during Speech Pathology Week (7.00 am Wednesday 26th August –  7.00 am Thursday 27th August) , I will be drinking Mildly Thick – Level 150 fluids (or thicker).
