Self-image and area of ​​work

The DGSS is the oldest German-speaking interdisciplinary society in the field of language and voice. Members of the following disciplines work together in it: speech and language studies, medicine , musicology, speech therapy , pedagogy and psychology .

The DGSS was originally founded as the "German Society for Speech and Voice Medicine" and consisted of doctors and people who worked in the field of voice and speech medicine as well as phonetics . Later it became clear that the interests of the members differed greatly, namely the medical and the more educational, so that the "Society for Phoniatry and Pedaudiology" (DGPP) was created. Both companies held joint congresses until 1996. Since then, the DGSS has been holding its congresses on its own and sees itself as an interdisciplinary society of all professionals working in therapy in the field of speech and voice. The DGSS holds its congress every two years.

The association supports scientific research for the benefit of people with communication disorders and would like to help shape the framework conditions of the public health system in this regard.
