If TSHA approval is granted, it does not imply endorsement of course content, specific products or clinical procedures. Registration includes lunch and parking. There will be multiple breakout sessions relevant to SLPs including a multi-disciplinary panel on Selective Eating in Autism, Implementing Informed Consent for Texture Modified Diets, and sessions covering assessment and treatment of speech with patients who have a cleft palate.
