This checklist can be used to help identify whether or not someone is at risk for Dysphagia or other related choking issues by identifying signs and symptoms. It is not a diagnostic tool! It should be completed by support staff or caretakers while observing an individual eating. It is a way to alert the person's primary care physician (PCP) about any visible signs or problems with eating, drinking or swallowing.

This checklist should be completed on an annual basis or if someone shows signs of problems when eating (e.g., coughing, losing food from their mouth, gurgly voice, etc.). The information collected should be shared with the person's PCP.
