We have just finished the April issue of the quarterly on-line magazine and it is jam packed with interesting news, articles, reports and information. We could call it the 'technology issue' as several of the entries are to do with ipads, social media and use of the internet. Never has speech and language therapy been so involved with the world of technology or had to keep up with its advances as today.
Rebecca Bright gives an overview of available apps while Barbara Fernandez looks at using apps for articulation therapy. Regarding social media, we have an article by Deb Taylor Tomarakos about the use of Facebook by SLT/SLP, an interesting piece about using Twitter as essential to CPD: the key to continued professional success by Tanya Coyle and Shareka Bentham and I have written a short insert about blogging.
Moving away from the techno advancements are contributions by Vladan Plecevic and Igor Buzganovic about verbal memory deficiencies of children with speech - language disorders, coping with difficult patients or co-workers by Stephanie Staples, a telepractic model By Kimberly Murphy and Cued Articulation by Adrienne Bamberger.
We also have an interview with Helen Barrett, currently working in Uganda and a thought provoking quote from Chad Turingan in a new section called ‘Have your say....’
We’ve also got book reviews this month including Caroline Bowen’s latest and Frances
Evesham’s new kindle book.
