28th World Congress of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics Welcome Address Dear Colleagues, It is a great honour and privilege to hold the 28th International Congress of the International Association of Logopedists and Phoniatrics (IALP), in Athens Greece. IALP is the oldest organization representing persons involved with scientific, educational and professional issues related to communication, language, voice, speech, hearing and swallowing disorders and sciences in children and adults. IALP was founded in Vienna, Austria, by Dr Emil Froeschels, in 1924. Our members are in more than 55 countries around the world. IALP holds its scientific congresses every three years. It is the first time that the IALP Congress is coming to Athens, in a vibrant city with great history, and many places of interest. The Organizing Committee and the Panhellenic Association of Logopedics have chosen as the philosophy for the Congress to be: “Where the sciences of communication meet the art and culture” This reflects our philosophy that the Congress has three dimensions: sciences, art and culture. The dimension of sciences departs from our objective that the congress is a strong meeting point for worldwide clinicians, professionals and scientists in communication, voice, speech, language, audiology and swallowing sciences and disorders. The dimensions of art and culture will be met through the cultural and social activities that are planned including a visit to the Acropolis. The aim is to host a meeting with a very high scientific quality while the participants will enjoy the traditional Greek hospitality in the capital of Democracy. Mara Behlau Ilias Papathanasiou IALP President President of 28th IALP Congress IALP Vice President Chair of Organizing Committee of 28th IALP Congress 4 28th World Congress of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics 5 Message of the President of the Panhellenic Association of Logopedists Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Governing Board and all the members of the Panhellenic Association of Logopedists (PΑL) I welcome you to the 28th International Conference of IALP. It is our honor and great joy to host you in Greece. Despite the difficult situation at the global level, it is our pleasure to have such distinguished scholars in the field of speech and language pathology come to participate in this conference. Your presentations at the various sessions will offer great value to this event. The mission and role of PΑL from its formative stages to its present form is the exchange of scientific information and the sharing of research results through the on-going interaction of its practitioners. In our country, the ultimate goal is to reach the highest level of professionalism in the field which we are still striving to achieve. We believe that the unique opportunity this conference presents will not only benefit the specialists but ultimately the members of the public to be served by our profession. We thank all those who are here to support and enrich this gathering, including members of the audience. We are also grateful to the Governing Board of IALP, as well as, to members of the scientific committee and the organizing committee of the Conference. To each of you we acknowledge the tireless efforts that went into planning this special event. Our best wishes to the success of the 28th IALP International Conference.

Rothwell, UK Abstract: It is well recognized that the number and effectiveness of synapses in the adult brain change in response to learning and that similar processes contribute to the restoration of function after central nervous system damage. It is possible to use non-invasive methods of brain stimulation in humans (transcranial magnetic stimulation or transcranial direct current stimulation) to study and even manipulate these processes. Initial studies are now underway to test whether modification of synaptic plasticity by neurostimulation can improve the recovery of motor function in patients after stroke.

Threats, USA Abstract: There has been growing recognition in the field of communication disorders concerning the importance of multicultural and diversity issues. This discussion needs to move beyond the theoretical and descriptive stage to the clinical use of this knowledge to improve the communicative functioning of diverse populations. This paper argues that the tenets of evidence-based practice and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) by the World Health Organization can be used to advance the scholarship and service concerning diversity issues. Both evidence-based practice and the ICF are client-based approaches that can facilitate the achievement of culturally relevant rehabilitation outcomes. This article discusses the use of evidence-based practice and the ICF for providing assessment and intervention that address the so- MAIN REPORT 2 cial and cultural complexities of the persons we serve. In addition, the author states that work on diversity issues can also be used to discover crucial underlying knowledge regarding communication and communication disorders. Main Presenter Travis T.

University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, USA THURSDAY, AUGUST 26th, 2010 AUTISM – DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACHES TO UNDERSTANDING AND TREATING AUTISM Tony Charman, UK Abstract: Over the past decade our understanding of early social communication development in young children with autism has undergone a remarkable change. We now know something about how young children with autism process the social world in a very different way from typical children. This has led to truly developmental models of autism. In turn, these have had profound impacts on research and practice. Several screening instruments to prospectively identify autism have been developed. In some cases autism can be diagnosed in children as young as 2 years of age. The study of ‘high-risk’ siblings has allowed prospective study of infants from as young as 6 months of age. There is increasing evidence that intervention approach- MAIN REPORT 3 es that focus on social and communication development can ameliorate symptoms and change the developmental course of the disorder. This article will highlight some of the key theoretical and clinical lessons learned from this decade of research.

(Greece) Washington K.N.*, Warr-Leeper G.A., (Canada) 52 28th World Congress of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics Information for Presenters Thank you for sharing your expertise at IALP 2010. Based on feedback from the most successful IALP presentations, we would like to make some suggestions for increasing presentation effectiveness. These recommendations are directly from attendees’ ratings and remarks on session evaluations. While we acknowledge that many presenters are very experienced, we hope these suggestions will be helpful to all presenters for optimizing presentations for the IALP audience. Speaker Ready Room The speaker ready corner is located in the ballroom foyer (please check the “Congress Venue Map” in order to find the specific place) All presentations for oral sessions will be submitted to the Speaker Ready Corner where they will be distributed to the appropriate computer by our technicians. LCD projectors and computers will be provided for all sessions; presentations are preloaded on the computers inside the session room. You may not use your own laptop. This is strictly enforced, in order to avoid or minimize any technical problem arise. There will be wireless microphones for questions, where needed. The computers in the speaker ready corner and each of the session rooms are exactly alike. If your presentation looks good in the speaker ready corner, it will look good in the session. Please note that if your presentation has audio, you should inform the technician in the speaker ready corner. It is strongly recommended that you deliver your presentation 2hrs prior to the session, so please be so kind to deliver your CD-ROM or USB flash disk on time. Please note that the speaker ready corner will operate as follows, so please feel free to drop by and ask questions: Sunday, August 22nd, 2010: 16.00-18.30 Monday, August 23rd, 2010: 08.00-19.00 Tuesday, August 24th, 2010: 08.00-17.30 Wednesday, August 25th, 2010: 13.30-17.30 Thursday, August 26th, 2010: 08.00-17.30 Presentation Tips Allow one-third of your overall time for sharing ideas, experiences, and issues, as a whole audience or in small groups. Please be so kind to speak slowly, simply and 52 clearly. Make it easier for non-native English speakers to take meaningful notes and more fully understand all the content of your presentation. Finish your talk on time or early. Respect the break times. Some presenters think they are doing a service by giving a longer talk, however, breaks are planned carefully, and attendees expect and want them on time. It will be very helpful for the attendees to give them examples during your presentation. Pepper your own stories and examples throughout your presentation and describe practical applications of your main points. Also, please be so kind to summarize main points. Reprise your goal statement at the end of your talk and link your closing remarks directly to it. Plan time to close your presentation with a summary of your own main points that reflect the goal statement from the beginning of your session, including the most relevant points, ideas and issues raised through audience participation. Use your slides as a visual tool, and to remind you of main points and do not read the text directly off your slides. Refer to points you heard during other presentations at IALP when appropriate. This helps promote a community feeling at the conference. Remind Attendees About Session Evaluations. A volunteer will pass these out to attendees for you. The congress will offer for up to 2.4 ASHA CEUs (various levels; Professional area). Proceedings Proceedings will be available on the IALP website after the congress, www.ialpathens2010.gr 28th World Congress of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics 53 Instruction for Poster Presenters Please find here below important information about poster presentations: P001-P057 They will be displayed on Monday, August 23rd, 2010 Placement: 08.00-09.00 on 23/8 Poster session: 10.30-11.30 on 23/8 (during that hours you are kindly requested to be in front of your poster) Dismantling: 17.30-18.30 on 23/8 P058-P125 They will be displayed on Tuesday, August 24th, 2010 Placement: 08.00-09.00 on 24/8 Poster session: 10.30-11.30 on 24/8 (during that hours you are kindly requested to be in front of your poster) Dismantling: 17.30-18.30 on 24/8 P126-P191 They will be displayed on Thursday, August 26th, 2010 Placement: 08.00-09.00 on 26/8 Poster session: 10.30-11.30 on 26/8 (during that hours you are kindly requested to be in front of your poster) Dismantling: 17.30-18.30 on 26/8 Important: Please note that in case you will not follow the above date/time schedule, the Organizing Committee and Triaena Tours & Congress, are not responsible in case of loss or damage of your poster 53 54 28th World Congress of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics Main Presenters', Discussants' and Moderators' Index NAME Amir O.

We strongly recommend local delicacies in taverns offering Greek specialties and wines. About Athens… Athens - the cradle of civilization: Athens is the capital of Greece. The city of Socrates, Pericles and Aristotle which took its name by its protector, goddess Athena, daughter of Zeus, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. The Athenians were the first to realise the immense cultural importance of the democratic discussion and the creative exchange of views and ideas. Athens is a modern metropolis, having strong links with the past and many prospects for the future. It is a vibrant city with great appeal and charm. It is among the most beautiful, hospitable and exciting cities in Europe and also one of the safest and most affordable. It is impossible to describe all the sites of interest and cultural opportunities offered by Athens, which is another one good reason to participate in our Congress. You will have the chance to visit Acropolis, the marble temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, built in the 5th century BC. Parthenon is one of the most extraordinary architectural achievements in the world. 71 72 28th World Congress of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics The Dionyssos Theatre, built in the 4th century BC in honour of the Greek god of food and wine, where the plays of Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes were performed. Visiting Plaka, which lies in the shadow of the Acropolis, a labyrinth of small streets, countless stores and restaurants, you will have a taste of Greek vitality and hospitality. Monastiraki flea market is truly worth a visit, as well as the National Archaeological Museum, the newly built Acropolis Museum and the Cycladic Museum. About Greece… Greece - The land chosen by Gods. A Glorious Past - A Prosperous Future: Greece is the land of the twelve Olympian Gods, the cradle of the Western civilisation, the birthplace of democracy, the origin of drama, history, philosophy and sciences. Most modern sciences such as medicine, history, philosophy, geography, astronomy, physics, mathematics, as well as artistic activities such as poetry and sculpture made their roots back in the ancient times of Greece. Greece has inherited a sophisticated culture and a language that has been documented for almost three millennia. Today’s spoken language has been an evolution of the Ancient Language spoken at Pericles’ golden age in 5th century B.C. Very few languages and cultures can demonstrate such continuity. Greeks are proud of their cultural heritage, and the notion of the unbroken continuity between their ancient and modern culture. For thousands of years Greece was the gate between the east and the west. Today, it is a modern, fast developing European country. Greece has been moving dynamically into the new millennium by undertaking more than 300 important infrastructure and urban projects, as well as investment programmes in telecommunications and information technology. This allows the country to face the global challenges of the twenty first century and upgrade the services provided to millions of visitors who annually enjoy its unique climate and lifestyle. The ancient tradition still vivid to our days together with the ancient monuments scattered throughout the country, combined with the golden sun, the physical beauty, the unique hospitality, all modern comforts, the necessary infrastructure, the long tourism experience, the upgraded services provided, make Greece a particularly attractive destination for eminent delegates. 28th World Congress of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics 73 Map of Athens ATHENAEUM INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL 73 74 KIFISSIA Lykovrysi Zefyrion 28th World Congress of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics KAT Metamorfosi PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION MAP Map of Metro Kamatero Pefki Nea Penteli Melissia MAROUSSI Iraklio IRAKLIO Pentel OTE NERATZIOTISSA Nea Filadelfia Ilion PEFKAKIA Agii Anargyri Maroussi IRINI NEA IONIA Petroupoli PARADISSOS Vrilissia Nea Ionia PERISSOS OLYMPIAKO STADIO Nea Halkidona SIDERA ANO PATISSIA DOUK.PLAKENTIAS Filothei AGHIOS ELEFTHERIOS Galatsi NOMISMATOKOPIO SEPOLIA Holargos VICTORIA LARISSA PANORMOU GOUDI Kifissia PANEPISTIMIO KOLONAKI KIFISSIA MONASTIRAKI Lykovrysi Tavros Zografou SYNTAGMA nt Glyka Nera P en te li OPERATING LINES LINE 1, ISAP PAGRATI / KESSARIANI LINE 2, ATTIKO METRO Nea Penteli Kessariani Melissia LINE 3, ATTIKO METRO METRO STATION TAVROS Iraklio METRO STATION, UNDER CONSTRUCTION NEOS KOSMOS IRAKLIO Vyronas AGHIOS IOANNIS Penteli LINE 2, UNDER CONSTRUCTION DAFNI Nea Ionia PERISSOS ittos Ymittos Ym Kallithea Dafni PARADISSOS Vrilissia nt PEFKAKIA Maroussi OLYMPIAKO STADIO ATRO Halkidona Filothei IOS (AL.

Rothwell UK Abstract: It is well recognized that the number and effectiveness of synapses in the adult brain change in response to learning and that similar processes contribute to the restoration of function after central nervous system damage. It is possible to use non-invasive methods of brain stimulation in humans (transcranial magnetic stimulation or transcranial direct current stimulation) to study and even manipulate these processes. Initial studies are now underway to test whether modification of synaptic plasticity by neurostimulation can improve the recovery of motor function in patients after stroke.

D. Deliyski University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, USA Summary: Acoustic measures characterize objectively the voice signals. But there is insufficient evidence regarding their physiological validity and the correspondence of the acoustic features to the actual biomechanical vibration of the vocal folds. This lecture summarizes our recent progress using technological advancements in high-speed videoendoscopy to precisely synchronize vibration to acoustic signal and provide new evidence of these relationships. Learner Outcomes: The participant will be able to identify the need for further research on the relationships between vocal fold vibration and voice acoustics; Describe a new acousticelectroglottographic measure of vocal attack time; Describe findings relating acoustic jitter to variations in vocal fold vibratory symmetry; Describe findings relating acoustic shimmer to variations in the open quotient. SY02A.2 FROM VOICE ACOUSTICS TO VOICE PERCEPTION Rahul Shrivastav University of Florida, Gainesville, USA Summary: This presentation will summarize the findings of a series of experiment done to understand how changes in vowel acoustic signals cue the perception of dysphonic voice quality. The three dimensions of voice quality to be discussed include breathiness, roughness and strain. Learner Outcomes: 1. Attendees will be able to describe the perceptual cues for breathiness and roughess. 2. Attendees will be able to discuss limitations contemporary acoustic measures used to describe dysphonic voice quality. SY02A.3 DESIGNING VOICE ASSESSMENT PROTOCOLS: THE BASICS J.M. Oates La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia Summary: The validity and utility of clinical voice evaluations depend, in part, on the extent to which evaluation protocols comprehensively sample clients’vocal behaviours. This contention applies to auditory-perceptual and instrumental evaluation as well as to self-report. This paper provides recommendations to assist clinicians design voice evaluation protocols that sample clients’maximum vocal capabilities and their everyday voice use patterns. Learner Outcomes: The participant will be able to design voice evaluation protocols that sample their clients’ maximum vocal capabilities; Design voice evaluation protocols that sample their client’s everyday voice use patterns. SY02A.4 SING PERCEPTUAL AND ACOUSTIC EVALUATION TOOLS U IN ONGOING VOICE THERAPY O. Amir Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel Summary: Perceptual indices and acoustic analysis programs are typically used for initial/final voice evaluation. This presentation suggests applying these tools for the ongoing voice therapy process. While these tools can be easily integrated into the clinical setting, it should be done with caution, as the interpretation of the results obtained might not adhere to the normative expected values. Learner Outcomes: After completing this session, participants will be able to incorporate perceptual indices and acoustic analysis tools into voice therapy rotuine. SY02A.5 NEW RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACOUSTIC VOICE MEASUREMENTS J.G. Svec1, S. Granqvist2 1 Biophysics Lab, Department of Experimental Physics, Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic 2 Department of Speech, Music and Hearing, School of Computer Science and Communication, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden Summary: While acoustic voice measurements are essential for objective voice assessment, most of these measurements have not been well standardized.

CAN STUTTERING BE CURED THROUGH THE INDUCTION OF PLASTIC CHANGE IN THE BRAIN? L. Brown1, L. Wilson1, A. Packman2 Charles Sturt University, Albury, Australia 2 Australian Stuttering Research Centre, The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia H. Soensterud1, K. Henriksen2 E. Dietrichs2 1 Bredtvet Resource Centre, Oslo, Norway 2 University in Oslo, Norway 1 Summary: Measures of vowel duration (VD) in speech research are traditionally reported collectively for all vowels within a speech sample. However, in spontaneous speech samples with high external validity, but reduced sampling control, it was hypothesised that an unequal distribution of short and long vowels may potentially obscure reported findings. This paper presents preliminary evidence to support this hypothesis. Learner Outcomes: The participant will be able to describe the need for acoustic research using conversational speech samples. Discuss the need for research with high external validity in addition to research with high internal validity. Explain the need to separate short and long vowels when reporting mean vowel duration and variability of vowel duration data from conversational speech samples. FP01.4 THE EFFECT OF SYNTACTIC COMPLEXITY AND LENGTH UTTERANCE ON SPEECH FLUENCY IN PERSIAN ADULTS WHO STUTTER Vahab Maryam1, Nilipour Dr Reza2, Yadegari Fariba2 1 Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran 2 University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Iran Summary: The present study examined whether the syntactic complexity and length utterance effects will continue during adulthood and cause dysfluency among Persian stutterers.The result of this research confirmed that :1-The type of syntactic structure didn’t affect on Persian adults fluency.2-Length utterance effect, in Persian stutterer adults,is active at all levels and leads to increasing dysfluency. Learner Outcomes: The participant will be able to explain the probability effect of syntactic complexity and length utterance on speech fluency in other languages.describe that stutterer adults would not be more disfluent, by increasing one or two syntactic nodes, in producing structures wich they are proficient enough. FP01.5 LIP-EMG DURING SENTENCE PRODUCTION OF PERSONS WHO DO AND DO NOT STUTTER H.-G. Bosshardt Faculty of Psychology, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany Summary: It was investigated whether during sentence production lip muscles of adult persons who do and do not stutter are differentially affected by concurrent cognitive processing and short-term memory load. The present results suggest that cognitive processes affect the recruitment of motor units for speech in persons who stutter but not in persons who do not stutter. Learner Outcomes: The participant will be able to describe effects of processing load on speech fluency Describe effects of processing load on the recruitment of motor units in persons who stutter and persons who do not stutter. Summary: Some people who stutter are more fluent when exposed to Altered Auditory Feedback (DAF/FAF). If the intervention is initiated while the brain is still plastic, it may be possible to induce persistent fluency as the brain re-modulates to circumvent dysfunctional nerve tracts. We present a single case study. Conversations with the boy were recorded pre, within and post-therapy. Learner Outcomes: The results will be presented, and are discussed in relation to fluency enhancement. Participants will be able to know more about DAF/FAF and important professionals experiences related to the use of technical intervention and small children.

TUESDAY 24/8/2010 MR02 THE COMPLEXITY OF SOCIAL/CULTURAL DIMENSION IN COMMUNICATION DISORDERS Travis T. Threats USA There has been growing recognition in the field of communication disorders concerning the importance of multicultural and diversity issues. This discussion needs to move beyond the theoretical and descriptive stage to the clinical use of this knowledge to improve the communicative functioning of diverse populations. This paper argues that the tenets of evidencebased practice and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) by the World Health Organization can be used to advance the scholarship and service concerning diversity issues. Both evidence-based practice and the ICF are client-based approaches that can facilitate the achievement of culturally relevant rehabilitation outcomes. This article discusses the use of evidence-based practice and the ICF for pro- viding assessment and intervention that address the social and cultural complexities of the persons we serve. In addition, the author states that work on diversity issues can also be used to discover crucial underlying knowledge regarding communication and communication disorders. Main Presenter Travis T.

We now know something about how young children with autism process the social world in a very different way from typical children. This has led to truly developmental models of autism. In turn, these have had profound impacts on research and practice. Several screening instruments to prospectively identify autism have been developed. In some cases autism can be diagnosed in children as young as 2 years of age. The study of ‘high-risk’ siblings has allowed prospective study of infants from as young as 6 months of age. There is increasing evidence that intervention approaches that focus on social and communication development can ameliorate symptoms and change the developmental course of the disorder. This article will highlight some of the key theoretical and clinical lessons learned from this decade of research. Main Presenter Tony Charman, PhD Chair in Autism Education, Department of Psychology and Human Development, Institute of Education, London, United Kingdom Discussants Herbert Roeyers, PhD Ghent University, Department of Experimental Clinical and Health Psychology Developmental Disorders, Ghent, Belgium Ioannis Vogindroukas, PhD Child Psychiatry Unit, Psychiatric Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece FP36.1 FONMEDIA, A COMPUTER PROGRAM AND DATABASE FOR PATIENT RECORDINGS Larsson H.

Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) is the national peak body for speech pathologists in Australia and is recognised by the Federal Government of Australia as the assessing authority for speech pathology qualifications. Underpinning professional practice in Australia is SPA’s Competency Based Occupational Standards (CBOS). This core Association document was first established in 1996, having been part of the Australian government’s focus on developing competency standards across professions. Extensive consultation with the speech pathology profession lead to the first set of standards which identified what is required for clinical and professional practice at an entry level. CBOS was reviewed in 2001 with updates incorporated to ensure that it reflected the changing scope of practice and current health and education environments. The standards have progressively been applied to a range of core Association functions including the accreditation of speech pathology programs offered by Australian universities and the assessment of those who have trained overseas, and those previously recognised speech pathologists who have not maintained currency of practice and wish to re-enter the profession. Of significance in recent times, is the further adaptation of CBOS 2001, along with identified generic competencies, for the development of a tool to support the valid assessment of students undertaking undergraduate clinical placements. COMPASS® Competency Assessment in Speech Pathology was launched in 2006 and is now available in an online version. This tool has not only been adopted across Australian speech pathology programs to underpin their student clinical training but has received significant international interest. CBOS is currently under a further review to ensure our standards are current, relevant and will support a modern and flexible speech pathology workforce into the future. This poster will outline the evolution of Australian speech pathology competency standards and showcase how they have been integrated into a range of core functions to affirm and support appropriate standards of professional practice. The Flemish Association for Speech-Language Therapists taking logopedics serious Pol De Meyere, Louis Heylen, Chris De Bal, Ronny Boey, Stefaan Lefevere, Marleen D’hondt, Youri Maryn* The ‘Vlaamse Vereniging voor Logopedisten (i.e., VVL or The Flemish Association for Speech-Language Therapists) is the only officially recognized association for logopedics in the Flemish part of Belgium, currently representing about 1600 members. Its main activities are centered around four central pillars. The first pillar is ‘advocacy’, for which VVL-representatives are engaged to optimize professional issues for all logopedic settings (independent, institutes, etc.).The second pillar is ‘service’, for which the VVL has installed a telephone service (to directly answer the many questions of its members), a website (www.vvl.be) and a partnership with companies specialized in social, legal, financial and insurance-related advise. For the third pillar ‘information’, VVL publishes the journal ‘Logopedie’ every two months with scientific as well as association-related contributions. Furthermore, the VVL distributes a newsletter on a regular basis and it also publishes books and materials that can be used in the daily assessment and management of various logopedic disorders. The fourth pillar is ‘education’, for which the VVL annualy organizes a general logopedic congress as well as a selected set of seminars and post-academic courses concerning a variety of logopedic topics. In the margin of all these activities, the VVL is involved in discussions regarding quality of care and professional services, and as such it has many partners/ contacts in different governments, universities and colleges, etc. Finally, to enhance its efficiency, the VVL is currently modernizing its structures and professionalizing its operations.

The Egyptian Society for Phoniatrics and Logopedics [ESPL] was established in 1976. It was the main professional organization among the Arabic speaking countries of the Middle East gathering people serving children and adults with communicative disorders. The number of members has gradually increased along the years to reach a total number of 165 members. The ESPL was affiliated to IALP in 1977. It has hosted the World Congress of the IALP in Cairo, Egypt in 1995. The activities of the Society span a broad range including increasing public awareness of the scope of communicative disorders 28th World Congress of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics 171 and the needs of the communicatively disabled patient. Since its establishment, the academic calendar has been busy with several yearly seminars where national and international speakers in the field have enriched its members with state-of-art knowledge in related fields. Members have also had the opportunity to make their achievements known at such academic forums, publishing in known periodicals in the field, in order to maximize the benefits to all members. The latest such academic event was the Composium on Central Auditory Processing Disorders, organized in association with IALP. This took place in March, 2009. In striving to become an organization attractive for all its members, the Society is stepping the first steps to establish local periodical to encourage and assist outstanding research in the field of children and adult communicative disorders. Under construction is also a website that can help all members to remain linked and updated with the news and knowledge from the mother association (IALP) and all related societies. It can also help the public reach their desired services through lists of reliable centers and personnel working in the field.

The German Speaking Society of Speech-, Language-, and Voice Pathology (Deutschsprachige Gesellschaft für Sprach- und Stimmheilkunde, DGSS) Rainer Schönweiler, Prof. Dr. med. (M.D., Ph.D.), University of Lubeck (Germany) and Katrin Neumann, Prof. Dr. med. (M.D., Ph.D.), University of Frankfurt a.M. (Germany) Abstract: The DGSS was founded one year after the IALP, in 1925, and was the first German speaking society of speech-, language-, and voice pathology. The foundation was promoted by renowned phoniatricians such as Rudolf Schilling, Hermann Gutzmann jun., Julius and Anita Berendes, Helmut Loebell, Emil Fröschels, Miroslav Seemann, Max Nadoleczny, and Richard Luchsinger. Though they were physicians, the DGSS was from the beginning a true interdisciplinary society by inviting also educational professions and psychologists to participate. Today, the DGSS has members of all medical, educational, and psychological professions of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland focusing on diagnosis, treatment, and research of speech-, language-, and voice disorders. Also, professional societies for phoniatrics, pediatric audiology, education, psychology, logopedics, and music are affiliated members and have (very active) delegates in the DGSS board. Interestingly, some of them you can also find on the list of IALP affiliated members, e.g. DGPP (phoniatricians) and dbl (logopedics). The DGSS has many activities to promote science and public health issues. First of all, the DGSS held biannual congresses in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland focusing on all interdisciplinary aspects of speech, language, and voice sciences. In the past, more and more hands-on-seminars were attached to the program. Many papers of the congresses were published in the Folia Phoniatrica et Logopedica (Karger, Basel), Sprache Stimme Gehör (Thieme), and L.O.G.O.S. Interdisziplinär (Elsevier, Munich). The upcoming congress 2011 will focus on language development and reading/ writing disorders. As a second field of activity, the DGSS initiates, supports, or participates in consensus and guideline committees, such for voice disorders in children, developmental language disorders in children, stuttering, and professional voice care issues. Third, like the IALP, the DGSS publishes a newsletter containing comprehensive information about what is going on in the affiliated German speaking societies in order to promote a better understanding across the disciplines.

WITHOUT HISTORY – NO FUTURE SWEDISH ASSOCIATION OF LOGOPEDICS AND PHONIATRICS (SFFL) 50 YEARS Frylmark A., Swedish Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics Logopedics and phoniatrics are young disciplines. Fifty years ago, when our organization was founded, these disciplines were quite unknown. In 1959, there were a few private clinics in Sweden. The people who worked there had studied abroad. Dr. Björn Fritzell, former President of IALP, was one ofthe persons who initiated SFFL. 176 28th World Congress of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics The first meeting took place in November 1959. In those days, Sweden was far behind our Nordic neighbours in logopedics and phoniatrics. The initiative to start the education of SLPs came from Dr. Gunnar Bjuggren. He insisted that the SLP students right from the beginning should get their training in the university. The two formal educations in logopedics, either with focus on health care or work in schools, were both founded in the 1960’s, but still in 2010 there are few speech- and language pathologists and speech therapists in Sweden compared to many other European countries. The Nordic cooperation was vivid at the start, e.g. with yearly symposia in Kungälv, Sweden. We still carry on a Nordic board meeting every year and visit each other’s congresses. There are also numerous examples of cooperation, both in research and clinical, between the Nordic countries. Today, SFFL has around 700 members. We arrange a yearly 2-day congress with different themes. Our journal, Tal & Språk, is published four times/year and we have a website where our members can keep informed. An organization should keep to its goals but be able to change with the world around it. Being the board of SFFL, we are proud of our organization’s history and looking forward to the future.
