What an honour for three people from CSU to have received this accolade (Kathryn Crowe, Sharynne McLeod, Kate Margetson).
Surprise, and congratulations! We are delighted to inform you that your 2023 ASHA Convention presentation titled, "Methods for Accurate Differential Diagnosis of Speech Sound Disorder in Multilingual Children", has been designated as an ASHA Convention Changemaker Session. This special designation was developed specifically for the 2023 ASHA Convention, in keeping with our theme of Igniting Innovation, and specifically recognizes presentations that are exceptional and promote or demonstrate innovation in one the following ways: • Potential to make an important or significant positive change at the patient, systemic, or discipline level. • Strong evidence that the work being presented has had a significant impact, or has the potential to provoke important change, at the individual, systemic, or discipline level. • Transformative research or clinical work that has dramatically changed the practices or future research (e.g., Contributes to new best practices). There were many sessions that embraced the theme and were quite strong, highlighting great examples of innovation in practice. Your submission, however, is one of just 117 specifically selected out of more than 3400 submissions. Each Topic Committee had the choice of recommending only three top-rated sessions that merited this special Changemaker recognition, across any session format, any member or affiliation type, and across both submission categories of professional education and research. Your presentation was assessed as exceptional and worthy of this special recognition.
ASHA Convention Changemaker Sessions will be highlighted in the Program Planner/Mobile App, the ASHA Convention Virtual Extra, and/or in the printed Pocket Planner. Additionally, we will create a special recognition certificate that will be emailed to you in September.
Please highlight this achievement on your CV by listing it under awards as a selected Changemaker Session, 2023 ASHA Convention. Should you have any questions, please email papers@asha.org. Congratulations again, thank you for your work that challenges us, inspires us, and demonstrates the breadth and depth of innovation in our professions.
Sincerely, Kelly Farquharson 2023 ASHA Convention Co-Chair for Speech-Language Pathology
