We begin on May 25 with 6 fantastic workshops taking place in Lisbon, at the Best Office Saldanha.
This will be followed by two intense days at the Ismaili Center, from 26 to 27 May 2023, around the main areas of clinical performance in speech therapy, placing them under the magnifying glass of knowledge regarding assessment and intervention illuminated by evidence, in a format of conferences, round tables and free papers, without ever neglecting a fundamental time for debate open to all participants. We will also have posters and visits to our partner stands.
We have 7 international guests joining an excellent national panel, either in the face-to-face format – Alexandre Cavallieri Gomes and Victoria Joffe – or online – Anne Vertigan, Cristina Murphy and Sharynne McLeod. -, who will share their experiences and knowledge, with relevant contributions to this Congress.
We also have a point of special relevance for national Speech Language Therapy with the launch of the “Compendium of Speech Therapy: assessing and intervening with evidence”, the most recent work of this Society which, throughout its 1500 pages, exposes the knowledge and scientific evidence regarding assessment methodologies and intervention in Speech Therapy.
And because science is also covered with affections, on September 26 we will have the homage to the Speech Therapist Dr. Gabriela Leal, as well as on September 27 the presentation of the Merit Award 2020-2023.
And it is in this language of science and affections that the III International Congress of the Portuguese Speech Therapy Society will take place.
