Dear colleagues, I have developed a questionnaire to learn more about the role of speech-language therapy - especially for the treatment of children with acquired aphasia. All speech-language therapists/speech-language pathologists (including all speech-language therapy professions such as clinical linguistics) in the German-speaking DACH region or in English-speaking countries who have experience with at least one case between the ages of 18/24 months and 12 years are invited to participate in my questionnaire study. This study has been ethically approved. The survey takes 20-30 minutes. If you do not want to give an answer to a question or cannot give an answer due to lack of experience, it is possible not to give any information. The project is supported by the ZNS-Hannelore Kohl Foundation. You can start the survey via the following link: https://survey.unifr.ch/index.php/924585?lang=en With your participation, you will be contributing to the study of the practice of speech- language therapy treatment for children with acquired aphasia. The survey will end on 10.05.2020. Your information will of course be treated confidentially. Please share the link with colleagues. Thanks a lot! Best regards, Angelika

Dear All,   Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, regrettably we have taken the decision to postpone the Inaugural meeting of the Irish Head and Neck Society, and 1st General Assembly, which was due to take place on 28 March this month   We are rescheduling this meeting – current plan is for September 12, same venue (Lyrath Hotel, Kilkenny).    Hopefully things will be more settled by then and it will be considered ok to proceed with gatherings of this size, but of course we will be keeping an eye on the situation.   For all those who have already joined the Irish Head and Neck Society and paid in your subscriptions, this will also cover your attendance at the rescheduled meeting.   For all those with papers accepted for presentation, or invited to give talks or participate in panels, these invitations still stand for the rescheduled meeting.  I will hope to be in touch over the Summer to confirm your participation, when we have more certainty about everything.   Thank you all for your great interest and support of this fledgling society so far.  Over the last few months, I have been simply blown away by the incredible level of support and enthusiasm from the four corners of Ireland, with so many people from so many disciplines genuinely wanting to do everything they can to make this society successful.  Unfortunately, nobody could have predicted the coronavirus outbreak and the impact it would have.  Hopefully, we will all get through this and get back to some level of normality in coming months.   Stay healthy all, best wishes
