Speech and Language Therapy for Cambodia
"In 2007, three graduates from the SLT course at City University visited Cambodia for three months to give therapy to children in need and advise carers on their speech, communication and feeding difficulties. We aim to repeat this project over the next three years and are seeking funding to support it.On this site you can read the blog entries posted by members of the project and keep up to date with the hard work and progress they are making in Cambodia."
If this piques your interest in helping (especially financially) visit and join the associated Facebook non-profit organization group.
Speechwoman is impressed and says "hats of" to the developers of the project, Professor Tim Pring, Dept of Language and Communication Science, City University, and Dr. Debbie Sell, Dept of Speech and Language Therapy, Great Ormond St Hospital.

Speech Language Pathology Resources
Speech Language Pathology Resources is the brainchild of Jennifer Taps, M.A., CCC-SLP. Jennifer facilitates the Articulation Resource Center for the San Diego Unified school district, supporting 250 SLPs in phonological and articulation treatment. Online for about a year, the site is a work in progress (as all the good sites are!) full of helpful child speech related resources and information. Speechwoman was particularly thrilled to see Jennifer's 2008 ASHA presentation. Nice work Alex, Zoe and Jen!
