‘I want to have my cake and eat it too’ - a collaborative framework for mealtime decision-makingDate: Wednesday 17 May 2017 Presenter: Cath Willmot, Fiona Tang and Laura McElhinney Workshop Fee: $150.00 Time: 9.00am – 12.30pm Venue: Grand Hyatt Melbourne, 123 Collins Street (Nearest train stations are Flinders Street Station and Parliament Station) People with disability should be at the centre of all their life decisions. However balancing duty of care and dignity of risk can be a difficult space for people with disability and speech pathologists to navigate together. This can be a particular issue at mealtimes when preference and choice can impact on an individual’s health and well-being. This workshop will assist speech pathologists to develop skills to support people with disability when their mealtime preferences and decisions do not match clinical recommendations.
