Paediatric Cervical Auscultation Course

This is a 2 day in person course on cervical auscultation, for paediatrics, with hands on training to understand and use this tool as part of your clinical swallow evaluations. The presenters are well known SLTs and academics in Australia and are passionate about teaching this course to paediatric SLTs, especially to those who live and work in remote areas, far away from instrumental assessments, e.g. FEES and VFSS.
