51¶¯ÂþÍø

It’s an exciting time for us Filipino speech-language pathologists as we once again look forward to the much-awaited 51¶¯ÂþÍø Convention 2018. The theme of this year’s biennial convention is Transcend: Moving Toward Excellence in Practice. Through this convention, we aim to transcend fundamental knowledge and skills by providing you with in-depth lectures on a variety of topics, interactive workshops, as well as oral and poster presentations. This gathering will definitely be a milestone in ensuring the highest standards in our profession!

Another momentous aspect of our convention is the participation of esteemed guest speakers from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). I am immensely pleased to extend our warm welcome to our colleagues from ASHA. We are deeply honored to work in partnership with you to guarantee a productive learning endeavor.

In line with our theme: Transcend, we want to extend our invitation and gracious welcome not only to the members of our association, but also to speech-language pathologists from other countries; our collaborators from the medical, allied medical, and educational fields; and the dear parents and family members of our clients. Our diverse topics will provide you with a deeper understanding and appreciation of speech and language assessment and intervention across various disorders. 

Furthermore, this will be a great opportunity to network and build professional ties. It is part of our vision for 51¶¯ÂþÍø to build stronger interprofessional relations that will fortify the foundation for practice and research partnership.

To our dear members, on behalf of the officers of 51¶¯ÂþÍø, we look forward to your strong and active support and participation in this event. Let us all move toward attaining excellence in all areas of our practice. See you all there!
