About this panel: 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. We invite you to join these meetings which will consist of short presentations by key figures in the field. You will have an opportunity to submit questions which will be considered by the panel on the day. In this fourth panel, invited speakers Dr Annette Fox-Boyer, Dr Yolanda Holt and Dr Ben Pham will discuss how SSD differs from speech difference - but also how this varies for different communities. For example, what may be considered a disordered feature of speech production for one person may be considered a difference in speech production for another.
