Award-winning Training
There are a range of ways to undertake the Co-Creating Safe and Enjoyable Meals for People with Swallowing Disability training. If you prefer some guidance from a qualified trainer, then look at the full day interactive workshop. With this option, a speech pathologist will deliver the training, guiding discussions and answer your questions. If you are good at self-directed learning, and want to work through the course at your own pace then check out the self-paced option below.
