Celebrating our Editor's Award for Topics in Language Disorders

We have just celebrated our Editor's Award for Topics in Language Disorders. The four authors were located across the globe so we met on Friday night (9pm my time to accommodate everyone's time zones). 

Here is our award winning paper:

Ireland, M., McLeod, S., Farquharson, K., & Crowe, K. (2020). Evaluating children in U.S. public schools with speech sound disorders: Considering federal and state laws, guidance, and research. Topics in Language Disorders, 40(4), 326–340. https://doi.org/10.1097/tld.0000000000000226

The award is named for Katharine G. Butler who was the Founding Editor of Topics in Language Disorders. This article about her life is inspirational:

Nelson, N. W. (2019). In Memoriam: Saga of a Trailblazer: Katharine G. Butler Founding Editor: Topics in Language Disorders: March 15, 1925–June 17, 2019. Topics in Language Disorders, 39(4), 343-347. https://doi.org/10.1097/tld.0000000000000201

What an honour to recieve this award.
