EP 10: A mother’s perspective on dysphagia with Kristin


Listen Later

In this episode we speak with Kristin, whose daughter Mackenzie had severe swallowing difficulties. Kristin talks openly about their journey from the first cough and choke until a diagnosis and treatment. She also shares the struggles of not getting information but how the internet could help her. She also gives some pretty good advice to all clinicians working with kids with feeding and swallowing difficulties.
