Responsibilities of speech-language pathologists in supporting childrens rights: more than listening

Research output: Contribution to a Journal (Peer & Non Peer)Articlepeer-review

Abstract

Article 12 places obligations on people providing education, health care and other human services, including SLPs, to ensure the rights of children to express their views about matters affecting them. How much do SLPs know about Article 12 and how to address it? How effective are we as SLPs in fulfilling our obligations with respect to Article 12? How can we be more effective? This article comprises two parts. Part 1 contains extracts of an interview conducted by Speech Pathology Australia with a leading legal scholar about Article 12 and its implementation. Part 2 consists of commentary from two scholars (an educator and a SLP) considering applications of Article 12 in practice.
