We have just learned the outcome of our Speech Pathology Australia National Conference submissions for 2026. In the letter they wrote
"This year we received 326 submissions, reflecting a 22% increase on last year. With limited presentation space available, only around one-third could be included in the final program"
While some of our papers were not accepted for presentation - the following papers were accepted:
- Assessing children’s speech in unfamiliar languages: Acceptability of the Speech Assessment of Children’s Home Language(s) (SACHL)
- Resources in 131 languages and dialects: Multilingual minds have unlocked global knowledge about children’s speech
- Implications of caregiver-implemented intervention for three underserved communities
- School speech pathologists’ navigation of nine tensions regarding evaluation and eligibility in USA
I am glad that two of my PhD students' papers were accepted.
