About the course

The ‘Co-Creating Safe and Enjoyable Meals for People with Swallowing Disability‘ UTS Open Training Course is a full day interactive workshop for the UTS Open Certificate taught by a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist and a person with swallowing disability both of whom were involved in the development of the course. It is designed for people who work with people with dysphagia, supervisors, managers, allied health professionals, direct support workers who work with people with severe dysphagia, support a lot of people with dysphagia (i.e., with diverse needs), support coaches or others who support people with dysphagia, or are involved in training or policy development.

This full day course covers four main modules in depth in a full day workshop with active learning from a speech pathologist involved in developing the materials and a person with swallowing disability. Learners have the opportunity to learn alongside their peers and in interactive scenarios for active implementation of the strategies following the training.
