🎤 Last Friday, I presented our qualitative studies on the perceptions of stakeholders with speech therapy at the conference of the Flemish Association for Speech Therapists!
🏠The take-home message? We should listen more to the voices of children when taking therapy decisions
🚨New publication by our research team: do adult naïve listeners perceive differences in speech before and after therapy for cleft palate speech disorders?

So grateful to be invited to present on evidence-based speech intervention in children with a cleft palate at the convention of The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) in Boston together with dr. Kari Lien🌐

Afgelopen vrijdag hadden we het genoegen om, in samenwerking met @acrehab_ugent , een workshop rond evidence-based behandeling van spraakstoornissen bij kinderen met schisis te organiseren. Een boeiende en leerrijke dag!

Ben je logopedist en wil je nog snel inschrijven voor deze interessante navorming, wacht dan niet langer!
🗣️ Tijdens deze navormingsdag gaan we dieper in op de verschillende types spraakstoornissen die voorkomen bij schisis en hun logopedische behandeling!
Een mooie samenwerking tussen de interdisciplinaire schisisteams van Gent en Leuven!
@uzgent @UZLeuven @ugent_fge
Dit artikel biedt, per leeftijdscategorie, een overzicht van de logopedische diagnostiek en behandeling van spraak- en taalstoornissen bij kinderen met een palatoschisis.

The Oxford Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World will contain ~ 80 chapters about 50 languages (24 dialects). It is a huge task - but made easy by the calibre and care of the excellent authors. Due 2024. @OUPAcademic @helenlblake

How do children with a cleft palate experience speech and language therapy?
Our publication "Sometimes I feel sad: A qualitative study on children's perceptions with cleft palate speech and language therapy" is now available in @ijlcd!

Happy to share our two newest publications available in @ijlcd!🥳
- the 1st study investigated the acceptability of phonological intervention for children with cleft palate from the perspective of speech-language pathologists
doi.org/10.1111/1460-6984.12…
- the 2nd paper is an RCT protocol which forms a first step in the creation of guidelines for a personalized, patient-tailored treatment approach in children with a cleft palate

Happy to be (online) part of the ENR Cranio meeting for SLPs and being able to talk about quantitative and qualitative perspectives on patient-reported outcome measures. Interesting discussions with colleagues! Thank you for the invitation.

Happy to share our new publication on peer attitudes toward adolescents with cleft palate speech disorders.
🧐Peers seem to show more negative attitudes toward adolescents with less intelligible speech due to their cleft.

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to share the results of our study on performance-specific speech intervention in children with a cleft palate at the 37th conference of the Dutch Association for cleft palate.
