Issues in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Populations - ASHA 2013
Although the 2012 American Speech-Language-Hearing Association convention has not as yet taken
place, plans for the 2013 Convention (November 14–16)
in Chicago are already underway! I have just accepted an invitation from Professor Robert Fox to be a member of the Issues in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Populations committee for the
2013 convention. I look forward to reviewing proposals and to planning the content for this topic. Typically 12-14,000 people attend this convention annually - so it is exciting to be involved in the planning committee.
