Today I presented a keynote address to the Philippine Association of Speech Pathologists Virtual Convention titled:
"EBP Approaches to Assessment and Intervention of Children’s Speech". There were over 330 attendees at the convention.
Here is the abstract:
Speech pathologists frequently provide assessment and intervention for children with speech sound disorders (SSD) and need to draw on four types of evidence when working with these children and their families: (1) Research evidence (2) Clinical expertise of the speech pathologist (3) Client preferences, values, and circumstances (4) Practice context relating to the setting and client (Hoffman et al., 2013). This presentation will provide recent evidence about children’s speech acquisition, assessment, and intervention regarding children who speak English, as well as many other languages. Free evidence-based resources created by researchers from across the world in over 60 languages will be described https://www.csu.edu.au/research/multilingual-speech
