During the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association convention I was delighted to spend time with Lynn Williams - and to share our passion and commitment for communication as a human right.
Lynn mentioned to me that while she was ASHA President she promoted communication rights based on the special issue of the International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology that I edited:
McLeod, S. (2018). Communication rights: Fundamental human rights for all. International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 20(1), 3–11. https://doi.org/10.1080/17549507.2018.1428687
It is exciting to see communication rights on ASHA t-shirts and merchandise and now mentioned in ASHA's mission/masthead
American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
Making effective communication, a human right, accessible and achievable for all.
