What is Swallowing & Mealtime Assessment & Report ?
A Swallowing and Mealtime Assessment and Report is a professional evaluation completed by a Speech Therapist to assess how safely and effectively a person can eat and drink.
It looks at a person’s ability to:
- Chew food
- Swallow food and liquids
- Sit and position themselves during meals
- Manage different food and drink textures
- Eat independently and safely
It ensures participants, families, and support coordinators understand achievements and next steps clearly and confidently.
