The impact of VPI extends beyond the physical aspects of speech and swallowing, affecting psychosocial aspects of life as well. Individuals with VPI may experience frustration, embarrassment, or self-consciousness due to their speech and swallowing difficulties. Early intervention and ongoing support can significantly improve outcomes and help individuals with VPI lead more fulfilling lives.
