International Speech Project and Outreach Efforts in Africa and China

Mark Irwin, Stefan Hoffman, Joseph Lukong and Joseph Nsubuga

The International Stuttering Association, the umbrella group for national and international stuttering associations, has been particularly active in recent times in its outreach efforts in Africa and China. It has also combined with several speech pathologists to set up and develop International Speech Project - a project aimed at bringing speech pathology services to countries of the developing world. Achievements to date and plans for the future will be discussed. Speech pathologists interested in donating time to serve in the developing world are encouraged to attend.
