The Unserved: Addressing the needs of those with communication disorders

I have co-authored two chapters in the following book: The Unserved: Addressing the needs of those with communication disorders https://www.jr-press.co.uk/the-unserved.html edited by Sandra Levey and Pamela Enderby.

  • Chapter 8 - Supporting the Communication of Underserved Children in Vietnam 
  • Chapter 10 - Speech Sound Disorders in Underserved or Unserved Populations 

It is an honour to be published in this important book. Here is the description:

The International Association of Logopaedics and Phoniatrics (IALP), now called The International Association of Communication Sciences and Disorders, was established in 1924. Its objective is to bring together professionals to promote research and clinical practice to support the needs of those with communication and swallowing disorders who lack health and other basic services. The Unserved, authored by members of the Association, celebrates 100 years of the IALP by presenting ideas to assist all those who work with children and adults who have difficulty in communicating or swallowing in order to improve services for unserved and underserved communities. It offers strategies to address disorders and conditions that affect many areas of everyday life and which are exacerbated by lack of adequate health, education and social services. Each chapter will be available as a free download after publication in summer 2022 on application to the Association. The print copy of the book will be published in October 2023 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the founding of IALP.
