Information about other aspects of speech pathology history that do not fit neatly into a chronology framework.

This section includes information about our Foremothers—women who have contributed to but are not always credited with founding the profession. It also includes material on John Thelwall, a British elocutionist who practiced in the early 19th century, and biographies and pictures of individuals who have contributed to speech pathology history. Other related sections include a Canadian history by Virginia Martin and therapy stories, including Margaret Hussey’s story of her experiences following the stroke and aphasia of her husband Michael Hussey. The newest addition to this section is a history module, called a Critical History Approach, designed to illustrate how a critical study of the history of the speech language pathology profession can help address injustices in the profession in hopes of developing a more socially just practices.
