🎙️ EPISODE SIX: Gagging, Coughing & Choking

Mealtimes can be stressful when gagging, coughing, or choking are involved and knowing what’s typical and what’s not is important.

In this episode, we unpack the differences between gagging, coughing, and choking, what they can mean, and when it might be a sign that extra support is needed. Understanding these signs can help improve safety and confidence at mealtimes.
