There are many people in the University and the profession of speech and language therapy who work hard and do an amazing job. I am slightly overwhelmed at being singled out for this honour. There is no doubt that I would not have got it if I hadn't had the opportunity of working with stimulating colleagues, progressive institutions as well as having a supportive family.
