    Implications of a systematic review into GLP S6E44

    In this week's episode Professor Bronwyn Hemsley and Dr Lucy Bryant from UTS speak about their soon to be published systematic review into GLP. Bronwyn and Lucy speak about how and why they started this research and some considerations they would like stakeholders to reflect upon. The systematic review will be linked here once it has been published. Speech Pathology Australia supports individualised, person-centred care as best practice. SPA understands that there are differing perspectives about GLP, and understands the hesitation that both speech pathologists and people with lived experience hold. There is need for ongoing professional conversation about research, evidence base and, importantly, ensuring that consumer voice is included, especially in situations where they may have been historically excluded or marginalised. Resources: The publication of the review launches SHIELD (Science Highlights, Information, and Evidence on Language Development), a new research collaborative at UTS led by Professor Bronwyn Hemsley and Dr. Lucy Bryant, with Dr. Caroline Bowen (UTS), Dr. Rachel Grove (UTS), Gaenor Dixon (Queensland Department of Education), Dr. Katharine Beals (Drexel University), and Professor Howard Shane (Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School). In 2024, the team looked for evidence of GLP/NLA's impact on language, communication, or behaviour in individuals with communication disabilities.
