From a long tradition of practical research in linguistics and speech and language therapy – both much longer than generally recognised. And a national crisis.
My approach to speech and language therapy is from my life, my degrees and research, my family. As a child, I had a speech and language delay, as did one of my children. This led me to linguistics. So I have a linguistic way of looking at things.
