The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), an Affiliate Society member of IALP, is excited to partner with the IALP to sponsor a symposium on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) on 26th of August, following the main report on Autism.
With funding from the National Institute for Deafness and Communication Disorders, five doctoral students and two post docs were provided international travel awards. Additionally, international faculty representing 5 different regions of the globe were invited to participate in this event. Each travel awardee submitted applications that included research proposals in the area of ASD and poster presentations at the IALP. The international faculty will be paired with a travel awardee as a mentor. This is an exciting collaborative effort between ASHA and the organizing committee of the 2010 IALP World Congress in August. This event offers an unique opportunity for the participants to engage in networking and exchanges of research and clinical practice information with colleagues from a myriad of countries across the globe.
This will be a wonderful and culturally rich educational experience for professionals in Communication Sciences and Disorders!
