Half a million Australian children have a speech/language disorder, tripling their changes of poor academic outcomes, limited employment options and social isolation. Current speech therapy is outdated, focusing on symptoms and ignoring important evidence on underlying aetiologies. I will transform detection, diagnosis and treatment of speech/language disorders to optimise patient outcomes, by identifying and translating findings on genes and brain pathways leading to these conditions.

50万澳大利亚儿童患有言语/语言障碍，使他们的学业成绩差、就业机会有限和社会孤立的变化增加了两倍。目前的语言治疗已经过时，只关注症状，忽视了潜在病因的重要证据。我将改变言语/语言障碍的检测，诊断和治疗，以优化患者的治疗效果，通过识别和翻译导致这些疾病的基因和大脑通路的发现。
