Children's Speech, Language and Literacy Special Interest Group
This group aims to bring together those with a special interest in children with speech, language and literacy difficulties. Our focus will be primarily on intervention with such children: How can we provide effective intervention for these children? What are strategies that we can use to evaluate our practice; prevent such difficulties and ultimately develop our knowledge of children with communication difficulties? The group aims to provide a supportive forum for sharing cases and clinical queries; reading and critically reviewing research papers that inform our knowledge and clinical practice. The group is open to all interested clinicians, researchers and students. Sessions may follow particular themes depending on the interests of the group's members.

Neuro-otology (formerly Balance Interest) Group
This group will focus on different aspects of neuro-otologic disorders, ranging from end-organ sensori-neural hearing loss and vestibular disease to central and functional disorders. Both diagnosis and management will be considered and this group is open and will be of interest to a variety of professionals including psychologists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists. The aim of this group is to facilitate discussion on what is a fascinating, but challenging area of practice. Practitioners will be encouraged to discuss difficult cases particularly with a view to selecting appropriate therapeutic strategies.
