You're hearing it here first! In recognition of the vital part that speech and language therapists play in the field of learning difficulties, Mindroom is offering the profession 4 free places at the forthcoming major international conference No Mind Left Behind.
The conference runs from 29-30 March 2011 in Glasgow. Delegates also receive access to the Virtual conference for up to a year. It will feature 52 international speakers from the fields of learning difficulties, autism, ADHD and other early onset neurodevelopmental disorders. They include a speech language pathologist from Sweden, Carmela Miniscalco, who will be speaking about her work on early diagnosis of autism.
The cost for professionals attending the conference is £495 + VAT, but Mindroom founder Sophie Dow decided to offer these bursary places specifically to speech and language therapists following my blog post about the impact of cuts on training budgets.
She says, "The offer is for 4 free places at both days of No Mind Left Behind. This includes the bonus of access to the Virtual conference for up to a year. In other words, it also offers fantastic in-house training opportunities for an entire department."
Interested speech and language therapists should contact Sophie (email [email protected]) as soon as possible. Successful applicants will be responsible for their own travel and accommodation.
What a brilliant CPD opportunity - good luck!
Having been declined from departmental funding received your e-mail this morning and by lunch time I had secured one of the SLT Bursary places Many thanks to you and Sophie Dow of MindRoom

That's fantastic news Roslyn, I'm delighted for you! Maybe after the event when you are reflecting on the practical applications we could think about sharing them somehow via Speech & Language Therapy in Practice?
