Supporting and Understanding Speech Sound Disorder (SuSSD) has been launched this week: https://www.ulster.ac.uk/research/topic/nursing-and-health/intellectual-and-developmental-disabilities/projects/ssd/about-this-website.
It was a pleasure to be Natalie Hegarty's co-supervisor for her PhD and to work with Dr Jill Titterington and Dr Laurence Taggart at Ulster University (Northern Ireland, UK) on the research that lead to the creation of the SuSSD.
"This resource was developed to support SLTs [speech and language therapists] to use research in practice when working with children with phonological impairment. This resource was produced through Natalie Hegarty's PhD Studentship in Ulster University, Northern Ireland, funded by the Department for Employment and Learning (DEL). This resource was informed by the evidence-base and was co-produced with speech and language therapists from each of the Health and Social Care Trust’s in Northern Ireland. The research team were: Natalie Hegarty, Jill Titterington (Ulster University), Sharynne McLeod (Charles Sturt University) and Laurence Taggart (Ulster University)."
