JCPSLP Vol 22 No 1 2020

inviting us to reflect on the shift of focus from individual clinicians to intercultural, interdisciplinary teamwork. In their article, Kate Broome and Vanessa Sarkozy explore the contribution of speech-language pathology assessment within the context of a multidisciplinary team, to the timely and accurate diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in 4–7-year-old children with average cognition. Impact on efficiency of service provision is explored and a new model of service provision proposed. In the penultimate article, Emma Schneider and colleagues share the outcomes of an exploratory prospective study on the association between return to work/study and health and well-being outcomes after acquired brain injury. And finally, Skye Sewell and Suzanne Hopf round out the included articles with a review of speech-language pathology service provision within Australian residential aged-care facilities. In this issue, we’ve included a selection of the regular columns, supplementing both themes on reading and interdisciplinary practice. In “What’s the evidence?” Stephanie Weir explores the evidence on the topic of interdisciplinary service provision in community-based services for children with disabilities. Three “Resource reviews” offer critique of diverse, contemporary resources

including the ABC website, and new texts on qualitative research and paediatric traumatic brain injury. In our two “Top 10” columns, Jenny Baker, shares her “go to” resources to support work in the areas of language and literacy, while Helen Tancredi and Jaedene Glasby outline resources that support their interdisciplinary collaboration within education settings. We are always keen to hear from you, the readership, as to your ideas for the journal. If you are interested in contributing to the journal by way of peer reviewing an article submission, critiquing a journal article for “Around the journals”, sharing your “Top 10” resources for your work context, or exploring different perspective on a theme through the “Viewpoints” column, please contact the editor at jcpslpeditor@gmail.com or the publications team at pubs@speechpathologyaustralia.org.au As always, we would like to extend sincere thanks to the authors who choose to share their work in JCPSLP, and the fabulous editorial committee and publication team without whom the issues would not come together. Take care, stay well, look after each other, and we look forward to bringing you another full issue in November, with the theme “Learning from our clients”.

Invitation & call for papers

•

Speech Pathology Australia’s 2021 Conference Planning Committee invites you to the 2021 National Conference from 30 May–2 June in Darwin. The theme Local Contexts, Global Practice was selected to support speech pathologists' thinking and talking about their local work contexts as well as the broader global practices we may engage in. We hope participants will use this time together to consider how the profession might move towards culturally safe and evidence-based practices that promote multiculturalism, multilingualism, equitable service provision and communication rights locally and globally. In your submission we ask you to consider your work, as it relates to the theme, and the aspirations outlined in Speech Pathology Australia 2030: • communication accessible communities • access for all • timely services across the lifespan • clients and communities driving service delivery • skilled and confident families and carers • collaborative professional partnerships • quality services, innovation and continual pursuit of knowledge

diverse and dynamic workforce. We invite you to join us in Darwin to share, engage, showcase, challenge, problem-solve, create, look to the future and innovate around speech pathology practices locally and globally. While the rest of Australia is getting chilly, our weather is guaranteed to be perfect with clear evening skies and warm days. We look forward to seeing you there!
