Meeting Description: 

The multilingual and multicultural nature of India brings an enormous
challenge to the SLPs in terms of assessment and intervention of communication
disorders. As the field of Speech-Language Pathology is based on spoken and
written language (communication modalities), it is, therefore, highly
resources dependent. The resources refer to the linguistic tests/tools
available for assessment of communication disorders and the personnel or SLPs
who speak the local languages. The number of languages spoken in India has
compounded the shortage of available tools and test materials for assessment
and diagnosis of communication disorders. Furthermore, the increasing number
of bi/multilingual community in the country demands the need for the
establishment of revised normative for the available tests/tools in various
languages. Even after five decades of the existence of the field, the
profession of speech-language pathology faces issues like lack of resources in
a linguistically and culturally rich country like India. Thus, in the context
of pressing the need for the development of the linguistic database in various
languages and reestablishment of available norms for the several linguistic
tools/test materials for the field of speech-language pathology, a seminar is
proposed. In this regard, the three day International Seminar on “Exigency in
the Field of Speech-Language Pathology in India” is an attempt provide a
common platform to the linguists as well as speech-language pathologists for
dialogue between them. This seminar will attempt to bring together
professionals like SLPs, linguists, and academicians in India and invited
speakers from abroad on a common platform in order to discuss the action plan
to deal with the immediate need for the development of the linguistic
database, assessment and intervention tools in Indian languages.
