August is the traditional month when Speech Pathology Australia promotes its Speech Pathology Week, which will be conducted from Aug 22nd to Aug 28th. This extremely relevant event gathers the speech and language pathology professionals’ community to discuss innovations, current challenges and recognise the main contributors to this area in Australia.

Since the pandemics affected the world’s routines, communication among family members, friends and co-workers was affected as well. However, it represented even more negative effects for people with some communication disability. This specific challenge guided this year’s Speech Pathology Week’s slogan: Communication is everyone’s right.

All discussions and panels during Speech Pathology Week 2021 will be conducted based on the five following facts:

• communication is a basic human right
• 1.2 million Australians live with communication disability
• communication disability is largely invisible. Unseen and out-of-sight
• confident communication helps maximise educational, health and social outcomes
• communication is more than just speech
