The learning environment uses realistic clinical scenarios and simulated human manikins in a small group environment to develop core practical skills for speech pathologists working with this population. It allows for the development of confidence in tracheostomy management for the clinician prior to live patient contact. TASP is designed for speech pathologists who have limited practical experience working with the adult patient with a tracheostomy. The workshop is aimed at the introductory level. 1–2 years of dysphagia experience is preferable. Consultation Rooms Alexandria, NSW
