Chinese University of Hong Kong lecture

This morning Dr Kate Margetson and I were honoured to be invited by Prof Valerie Pereira to give a 3-hour lecture to Masters students at Chinese University of Hong Kong. Their are studying the subject SLPA5207 Speech Sound Disorders and their textbooks are Children's Speech (McLeod & Baker, 2017) and Interventions for Speech Sound Disorders in Children (Williams, McLeod & McCauley, 2020).

What a pleasure to meet the future speech and language therapists of Hong Kong. Best wishes students! Thanks for letting us put your photo on my blog - and for having a multilingal superpower - speaking English, Cantonese, Mandarin/Putonghua (and some of you spoke even more languages!).

Mandarin Articulation and Phonology Test

While in China I met Prof Pao-chuan Torng who is the Chair of the Department of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology at the National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences. She has published a test titled the Mandarin Articulation and Phonology Test (and I was able to purchase a copy to add to my collection), and written two books.

Additionally, she has translated a number of texts into Chinese, including
McLeod, S. (2014). Speech sound acquisition. In J. E. Bernthal, N. W. Bankson, & P. Flipsen Jnr (Eds.), Articulation and phonological disorders: Speech sound disorders in children (8th ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson Education.
