U of T researchers call for new approach to speech sound disorders in children

Researchers at the University of Toronto are urging a reconsideration of how children are assessed for speech sound disorders, a group of conditions that make the correct pronunciation of words difficult. They say mounting evidence suggests more of these disorders result from motor-based problems of the jaw, lips and tongue than previously realized, rather than from cognitive-linguistic issues only, such as sound processing and memory function.

From Faculty leadership

Reflections on global partnership and shared learning

As the year draws to a close, I’ve been thinking about the many ways our faculty contributes to global health. This reflection has been shaped, in part, by my recent trip to Kigali, Rwanda, for the Africa Health Collaborative Convening, generously supported by the Mastercard Foundation — an experience that left a lasting impression on me. While in Rwanda, I heard about the country’s ongoing efforts, since the 1994 genocide, to foster a shared national identity grounded in the message “We are all Rwandans.” Listening to these reflections underscored for me how essential strong systems — health, education, governance and community partnerships — are to building a resilient society that strives to care for everyone.
