🎤 Last Friday, I presented our qualitative studies on the perceptions of stakeholders with speech therapy at the conference of the Flemish Association for Speech Therapists!
🏠The take-home message? We should listen more to the voices of children when taking therapy decisions

[Cassandra Alighieri @Calighie]

🚨New publication by our research team: do adult naïve listeners perceive differences in speech before and after therapy for cleft palate speech disorders?

Afgelopen vrijdag hadden we het genoegen om, in samenwerking met @acrehab_ugent , een workshop rond evidence-based behandeling van spraakstoornissen bij kinderen met schisis te organiseren. Een boeiende en leerrijke dag!

Ben je logopedist en wil je nog snel inschrijven voor deze interessante navorming, wacht dan niet langer!
🗣️ Tijdens deze navormingsdag gaan we dieper in op de verschillende types spraakstoornissen die voorkomen bij schisis en hun logopedische behandeling!

Een mooie samenwerking tussen de interdisciplinaire schisisteams van Gent en Leuven!

The Oxford Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World will contain ~ 80 chapters about 50 languages (24 dialects). It is a huge task - but made easy by the calibre and care of the excellent authors. Due 2024. @OUPAcademic @helenlblake
