A professional development event organized by the Department of Speech and Language Therapy of the Faculty of Health Sciences was held with the participation of Speech and Language Therapist Göknur VATANSEVER.
The event addressed typical and atypical patterns in speech and language development, the importance of early diagnosis of developmental disorders, and the foundations of therapeutic approaches. VATANSEVER highlighted the critical role of speech and language therapists not only in individual intervention but also in team-based practice. She illustrated, with examples, their duties and responsibilities across a broad spectrum ranging from early childhood to adulthood.
The presentation also emphasized the roles of speech and language therapists within multidisciplinary teams, and shared examples of the profession's applications in both clinical and educational settings.
Moderated by Lecturer Ali IŞIKTAŞ, the event made a valuable contribution to helping students strengthen their academic knowledge and develop their professional vision.
