ASHA online conference
The ASHA online conference that was held in April was repeated in August due to popular demand and this time there were over 600 delegates. It was titled Improving Intelligibility in Children with Speech Sound Disorders. My presentation was titled Measuring Intelligibility with Different Listeners: The Intelligibility in Context Scale. This morning (Saturday at 8am; US Friday 6pm) I answered attendees questions about my paper during a rapid online chat session. It was a lot of fun - and some interesting questions were asked (and hopefully answered).
