German Society for Speech Therapy Education
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sprachheilpädagogik eV (dgs) sees an essential task in publicly articulating the situation of speech-impaired people in order to raise awareness of the problem and create the social conditions for the necessary support. To this end, the specialist journal "Die Sprachheilarbeit" is published and regional and national work and training events are organized. The guidelines and the work of the professional association are decided every two years at the assembly of delegates.
