However, our clients tell us that they find the signal beneficial for learning and helpful in motivating them to practice their swallowing exercises. Catriona Steele, is a speech-language pathologist and research scientist at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute. Her primary research interest is in the rehabilitation of oropharyngeal swallowing disorders (dysphagia). Her research explores both basic principles underlying clinical interventions for dysphagia, and clinical outcomes following rehabilitative treatment.
