About the facilitator: 

Professor Tricia McCabe CPSP is Head of Discipline and Professor of Speech Pathology in the Faculty of Health Sciences at The University of Sydney. Tricia has
published more than 100 peer reviewed journal articles, supervised more than 20

teaching and clinical practice are all focussed on improving treatments for moderate-
severe speech impairments in children and adults. In particular, she wants to
improve treatments for children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech and this has
resulted in the two Randomised Control Trials comparing different interventions in
this population. With a team of colleagues, she developed the Rapid Syllable
Transition Training intervention (ReST). ReST has been shown to be effective in both
face to face and telehealth service delivery. Tricia maintains a small private practice
in Sydney providing second opinion assessments and treatment to children and
adults with speech disorders.
