SPAA-C lecture for Finland's speech and language therapists

 Tonight A/Prof Kate Crowe (CVC Adjunct and A/Prof at University of Iceland) and I recorded a lecture on the Speech Participation and Activity Assessment - Children (SPAA-C) for a professional development course for Finland's speech and language therapists. We were invited by Krista Tuohimaa, Head of the Research Unit of Logopedics, University of Oulu, Finland.
