Special Topic Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica 2006, Vol. 58, No. 1 The global development of speech pathology education differs from region to region. Countries such as Iraq are barely capable of meeting basic needs while countries such as Sweden provide health coverage for their entire populace. Whereas Burma is going through political unrest and therefore very little information is available the United States are going online. These disparities and differences are continuing to challenge the education committee of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics (IALP). This special issue is devoted to the education of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) from global perspectives. The first three articles give an overview of the state-of-the-art in SLP education in the US on different educational levels. Other contributions report on the experiences from Brazil, Scandinavia, UK, the Maltese Islands, Australia and Japan. It is the purpose of this publication to share the multiplicity of experiences made in the education of SLPs worldwide with educators, clinicians, researchers, and service providers in speech language pathology.
