“Many Feel Course Unbalanced” (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, May 9.

C-. Lewis in her presidential address to the twelfth biennial conference of the New Zealand Speech Therapists’ Association in Auckland today. “Continued research is revealing that there are many aspects of speech and language disorder,” said Miss Lewis, “that call for a degree of specialised knowledge which cannot be covered in the present basic training. “An increasing awareness of the relationship between certain types of speech difficulty and problems of emotional adjustment had necessitated a widening of the scope of speech therapy,” she said.
