FOAF is organising its first scientific congress on the theme: Specific Language and Learning Disorders in Africa: Issues and Challenges in Lomé (TOGO) from 20 to 22 August 2018.
FOAF is composed of 10 associations of speech therapists from 10 French-speaking African countries and is based in Lomé. Its purpose is to promote speech therapy through the coordination of the actions of its members. It works for the recognition of the profession and its roots, for the promotion of the quality of the speech-language practice, for the capacity building of speech-language pathologists, and for the adaptation of diagnostic and orthophonic care tools, in Africa.
You are invited to participate in this congress which will gather professionals of Africa, Europe and America.
