A long tradition of linguistic research

And research in speech and language therapy – both much longer than generally recognised.

I take account of a national crisis of under-developed speech and language in small children.

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.
