Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) is the national peak body for the speech pathology profession in Australia. == History of the association == Established in 1949, SPA began as the Australian College of Speech Therapists, set up to regulate and maintain the qualifications and standards of the profession.〔http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article26599261?searchTerm=australian%20college%20of%20speech%20therapists&searchLimits=l-title=The+Argus+%28Melbourne%2C...|titleid%3A13〕 The Australian Branch of the British Medical Association "granted the Australian College of Speech Therapists full professional recognition as the examining, qualifying and representative body for speech therapy within the Commonwealth".〔Eldridge, M. (1968). A history of the treatment of speech disorders. Edinburgh: E. & S. Livingstone.〕 The new organisation combined the Victorian Council of Speech Therapy, the Australian Association of Speech Therapists (New South Wales), the South Australian Council of Speech Science and Speech Therapy, and the Council for Speech Therapy (Western Australia), and granted members the right to practice in the United Kingdom.〔http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article18406324?searchTerm=%20%20speech%20therapy&searchLimits=l-title=The+Argus+%28Melbourne%2C...|titleid%3A13|||l-title=The+Sydney+Morning+Herald+%28NSW+%3A+1842-1954%29|titleid%3A35〕 In 1974-5, the organisation became the Australian Association of Speech & Hearing. The association no longer conducted examinations nor granted licentiates to graduates, a responsibility that was taken over by tertiary institutions.〔http://www.speechpathologyaustralia.org.au/library/Oral%20History%20Poster%20P.1.pdf〕 In 1996 the organisation became the Speech Pathology Association of Australia Ltd and adopted the public name of Speech Pathology Australia.〔http://www.speechpathologyaustralia.org.au/library/Oral%20History%20Poster%20P.1.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Speech Pathology Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
