Description: The IDDSI Framework, Detailed Definitions and Testing Methods are the accepted standard of practice in the United States. A consistent theme for a successful implementation is to learn and follow the guidelines of the IDDSI Framework.

Recognizing why an item does not pass and making corrections to create products that do pass is key.

- Experience hands-on testing of IDDSI friendly texture modified foods
- Learn about best practices for establishing standardized dysphagia diet orders
- Walk away with functional solutions for IDDSI implementation
- Most of all, play and have fun!
