New Digital Platform for Logopedics Research

In cooperation with Praxis Logopädie Dornstauder, students of Logopedics – Phoniatrics – Audiology publish their research results on essential work fields in speech therapy, including in the form of videos and podcasts.

Evidence-based resources and therapy approaches are becoming increasingly important in speech and language therapy. To ensure that they can be applied more quickly, easily and simply in practice, a platform for scientific information and research results has been created as part of the Research & Skills project. Speech and language therapists can get an overview of the current state of research on topics such as articulation and oral motor skills, teletherapy for dysphagia, COVID-19 in speech and language therapy and teletherapy with children. Summaries of current scientific papers prepared by students of the degree program Logopedics - Phoniatrics - Audiology are published.

Collaboration with students is an essential cornerstone of the project. During their training, the future speech and language therapists learn the importance of independent scientific work with direct practical relevance. They also learn about creative forms of knowledge transfer, such as videos or podcasts. Through the involvement of the degree program and direct cooperation with practicing speech and language therapists, the platform (available in German only) is constantly being expanded and filled with current information and the latest research results.
