Launch of the WHO Rehabilitation Competency Framework

In 2019 I was on a Delphi panel to provide advice into the development of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Rehabilitation Competency Framework. Here is a description by WHO of the need for the framework

Profound rehabilitation worker shortages, maldistribution, and issues of quality and relevance pose a major barrier to people accessing the care they need, when and where then need it. Competency frameworks are an important mechanism for addressing these challenges, especially in contexts where the rehabilitation workforce is emerging.

The WHO Rehabilitation Competency Framework will be launched on 26th February, 2021. More details are here: https://who.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_6lTQFccYRoCC8dWuhirZQA

Contribution to the World Health Organization's Rehabilitation Competency Framework

I have just received a certificate and acknowledgment from the World Health Organization for my contribution to the Delphi study of the Rehabilitation Competency Framework. It did take many hours to complete the reviews, but there were many places where I could use my knowledge of communication disability and the speech-language pathology profession to inform the development of this framework.

World Health Organization Rehabilitation Competency Framework Delphi Panel

I have just completed stage 2 providing comments on the World Health Organization Rehabilitation Competency Framework as part of their Delphi Panel. It has been a privilege to represent the perspectives of people with communication disability and communication specialists (including speech-language pathologists).
