The Centre for Language and Communication Science Research at City, University of London is excited to showcase their latest research with a range of client groups, with implications for clinical practice and student education.

There will be two parallel sessions covering developmental and adult research topics. Each presentation will summarise key research findings and the potential or actual impact of the research on professionals, clients and their families, and on student education. Attendees will be invited to share how they will use research findings to change clinical practice and improve student education.
