SpeechBITE

Newsletter - July 2018

Hi there,

Welcome to the July 2018 newsletter.

In 2006, Speech Pathology Australia gave an initial grant to The University of Sydney to investigate setting up an evidence based website resource for the speech pathology profession. Without hesitation, Kate Smith took on the unimaginable task of determining the scope of speech pathology, creating a curated website, finding and rating the methodological quality of papers, managing marketing and promotion of the website, and training our raters. speechBITE officially launched in May 2008 and now has over 70,000 unique visitors each month from over 100 countries. Kate has worked as the Project Manager over the past decade, and along with the speechBITE team, which includes Tricia McCabe, Natalie Munro, Elizabeth Murray, Emma Power, Liss Brunner, and myself, she has overseen the continued growth and expansion of this international resource. Kate will continue to be closely associated with speechBITE, but following a well-deserved promotion to a senior management position at The University of Sydney, she has stepped down as the Project Manager. We therefore want to take this opportunity to thank her and acknowledge the amazing contribution Kate has made to speechBITE, to our team, and to the profession of speech pathology nationally and internationally. We would also like to welcome Nichola Shelton onto the team, who is working with us to continue the work of speechBITE.

This month we are updating you on all the references recently added to speechBITE.

Professor Leanne Togher, Director, speechBITE.
