Providing feedback on the World Health Organization's ICD11
I have been invited to provide feedback on the World Health Organization's revisions to the International Classification of Diseases 11th revision. The revision is due for publication in 2017. I have been invited to critique the draft document on developmental speech disorders, and have offered recommendations from the International Expert Panel on Multilingual Children's Speech, as well as from other work I have undertaken.
