It is a fact of life that aging happens to us all, whether we want it to or not. But even when we embrace the changes that come with aging, it can be hard to decide if something is just a new "normal" or if it is cause for concern. In this presentation, we will discuss common age-related changes in swallowing, hearing, language, and cognition. We will cover differences between healthy aging and changes due to illness or injury. Finally, we will provide some tips and advice so that you can keep fully participating in life!
