IALP Child Speech Committee - Thank you to our outgoing chair

Tonight we held a meeting of the Child Speech Committee of IALP. On the agenda was discussion of 

  • the success of the Speech Sound Disorders Panel Series that held in Oct, Dec, Feb and April and the special issue of IJLCD that will profile the presentations
  • future planning for new Panels addressing SSD and multilingualism
  • a new UK study to consider core outcomes and minimal datasets for children with SSD
  • committee membership.

We thanked our oustanding chair, A/Prof Yvonne Wren who has lead the committee so capably and has organised excellent projects including the special issue of FPL on Transcription and the SSD Panel Series. 

The committee has proposed that I be the new chair until the IALP convention in New Zealand in 2023, then Helen Grech take over as chair.
