Tonight (9pm for me to accommodate everyone's time zones) we held the Child Spech Committee Meeting chaired by Yvonne Wren (UK) (I am the deputy chair of the committee). We discussed the upcoming panel series titled "What's in a name" and the next panel series based on Speech Sound Disorders and Multilingualism. There will be a special issue of the International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders on Terminology in Speech Sound Disorders following on from these Panels. We also discussed the three chapters our committee has contributed to the book for the Task for on Underservcd and Unserved Populations, the 2023 Conference to be held in New Zealand and the Centenary Year of IALP in 2024.
