About this event (from IALP)

For many years we have debated terminology for describing the needs of children with communication impairment across the globe. Researchers, specialists, clinicians, parents and individuals with lived experience of the conditions have contributed to these discussions. The IALP Child Speech Committee have organised a series of panel meetings to discuss the overlap and distinctions between the label ‘Speech Sound Disorder’ and other closely related conditions. These meetings consist of short presentations by key figures in the field.  The meetings  take place virtually in October and December 2021 and February and April 2022. In this third panel meeting, invited speakers Dr Valerie Pereira and Dr Lucy Southby will discuss how differences in anatomy and physiology affect how we label SSD, which in turn affects our management.
