December 2009 Teacher Space Sue King is a teacher who works at Belvoir Special School, Wodonga, Victoria, Australia. Her passion is "helping students with learning challenges to engage in learning in both special education and mainstream settings and to help them to achieve outcomes that will lead to enviable lives." With few references to the peer reviewed literature or refereed evidence base, and a reliance on uncritical "testimonial evidence", she has developed a fascinating blog full of original ideas, clever resources, interesting leads and popular book recommendations. The site will be of interest to speech-language pathologists, teachers and students working in education and special education. |

| August 2009 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. |
