07 Feb Angela Morgan – Professional Advisory Council
Angela is Director of Research and Teaching in Speech Pathology at The University of Melbourne. She is also Associate Professor and Director of the Centre for Neuroscience of Speech across The University of Melbourne and the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, Royal Childrens Hospital, Melbourne, Australia. She has over 15 years of clinical and research experience in pediatric rehabilitation in Australia and the United Kingdom (UK). She gained an international view of pediatric rehabilitation during her post at the Institute of Child Health University College London conjointly with The Childrens Trust Rehabilitation Centre in the UK. Her current Australian-based NHMRC research program consists of two streams: i) a clinical-research stream focused on rehabilitation of children with acquired brain injury, and ii) a neuroscience stream focused on the neurobiological basis of swallowing and communication disorders in childhood.
How did you first become interested in CAS?
My brother had a speech disorder growing up which led me to be interested in speech. I was fortunate to train in Speech Pathology at the University of Queensland in the 90s and we had a whole clinic dedicated to CAS run by Professor Anne Ozanne of the ‘cascade model’ fame.
How long have you been interested in CAS?
Since I was 8 years old and attended speech therapy sessions with my little brother.
What is your “why” for being involved with Apraxia Kids?
There are many factors to mention but really to try and contribute in any way possible to the amazing work Apraxia Kids does to raise awareness, improve understanding and increase support for children and families with CAS.
What is your vision for the next 2-3 years for Apraxia Kids?
I would love it if Apraxia Kids was a household name – because that would mean that people understood Apraxia in the way that Autism is understood.
A couple of fun things about you – favorite pastime, latest non-professional book you read, hobby or favorite pastime, person you would most love to have dinner with (living now or in the past), dream vacation, or anything else that might be of interest that you want to share! Pick 2 or 3 things to tell us about yourself!
I am a proud Tasmanian and try to get back to that beautiful island whenever I can. I am working on a heritage project down there in my spare time and am passionate about preserving nature.
