What makes us different than other courses?
It's not just a chef. It's not just a speech therapist. It's not just a dietitian.
It's all three!
And, it's not just pictures of food, it's not just IDDSI audit sheets, it's not just PowerPoint slides.
It's interactive, practical, food testing, and tasting! (Special diet? Just ask!)
