About the Foundation
The Neonatal and Pediatric Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Foundation, Inc. (NPODF) is a medical foundation dedicated to improving safety, nutrition, and developmental outcomes for infants and children with Oropharyngeal Dysphagia. We help families navigate swallow studies, aspiration risk, tube-feeding journeys, and the emotional strain that often comes with feeding challenges. Our programs focus on practical relief-access to essential feeding supplies, therapy support, care coordination, and childcare inclusion-alongside community education and emotional resilience. We exist so parents feel less alone, and children are celebrated for every brave step toward safe eating.
