“…232 McAllister et al 233 state that both stakeholders and communities may hold different views regarding who is underserved by services. Data are limited about the particular groups who are underserved by speech and language therapy services, although there is evidence of disproportionality in the representation of certain social and ethnic groups who are identified in the education system in England as having SLCN.…”

Before 2000, the majority of research that has included parents, particularly with respect to preschool children, tended to focus on changes that parents were able to make to their own speech and language in response to training.…”

Programme Grants for Applied Research programmeThe Programme Grants for Applied Research (PGfAR) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 2006 to produce independent research findings that will have practical application for the benefit of patients and the NHS in the relatively near future. The Programme is managed by the NIHR Central Commissioning Facility (CCF) with strategic input from the Programme Director.The programme is a national response mode funding scheme that aims to provide evidence to improve health outcomes in England through promotion of health, prevention of ill health, and optimal disease management (including safety and quality), with particular emphasis on conditions causing significant disease burden.For more information about the PGfAR programme please visit the website: http://www.nihr.ac.uk/funding/programme-grants-forapplied-research.htm This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by PGfAR as project number RP-PG-0109-10073.

“…In this role, SLPs provide services to the community rather than individual services to particular clients. This community service role as suggested by McAllister et al (2013) is crucial in countries with overwhelming demand for SLP services which can never be met by traditional models of service delivery. A flexible framework wherein SLPs use a variety of service models (both community and individual) will ultimately increase the accessibility and equitability of services.…”

Aims: In order for speech-language pathologists to work better together with CBR workers, there is a necessity to understand what they perceive as their training needs for people with communication disability (PWCD). Method: In 2013, a cross-sectional written survey was conducted with 421Malaysian workers, using convenient sampling and a mixed-method approach. Results: In-depth information on training needs from descriptive analysis of quantitative data and content analysis of qualitative data were obtained and discussed.Conclusion: This study, although not generalizable, builds up the literature on worker training needs in developing countries, and would be of benefit for speech-language pathologists and worker trainers.

“…In the same line, the number of existing SLP confirms a lack of personnel to provide adequate healthcare and rehabilitation services [1]: in sub-Saharan Africa there is 1 SLP for every 2-4 million people, while in the US, UK, Austria, and Canada there is 1 SLP for every 2500-4700 people.…”

Abstract. The Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) is an area focused on the rehabilitation of people suffering from different kinds of disorders and disabilities related with language and communication. According to latest estimates of the World Health Organization, most countries do not have appropriate structures to provide healthcare and rehabilitation services for those people. This problem becomes more complex on developing countries, due the lack of professionals and ICT-based tools to support the several activities that must be performed by the Speech and Language Pathologists (SLPs). On those grounds, this paper presents a robotic assistant with the aim to help SLPs during the therapy activities. This approach is based on an integrative environment that relies on mobile ICT tools, an expert system, a knowledge layer and standardized vocabularies. This proposal has been tested on 26 children suffering from different kind of disabilities, and the results achieved have shown important improvements in some activities related with SLT like reduction of the time required to prepare patients for therapy, and better response of children to perform tasks.
