Celebrating 45 Years of Communication, Connection, and Care!
This year marks a remarkable milestone for The Hong Kong Association of Speech Therapists—45 years dedicated to empowering voices, building connections, and providing compassionate care across our community.
Since 1981, our association has championed evidence-based practice, professional development, and advocacy for individuals with communication and swallowing needs. From pioneering therapy programs to fostering collaboration among multilingual, multidisciplinary professionals, we’re proud to have made a lasting difference in the lives of so many children, families, and partners.
As we reflect on our journey, we extend heartfelt gratitude to our members, colleagues, and supporters—past and present—who have shaped our story. Together, we continue to inspire inclusion, celebrate every voice, and work towards a future where everyone can communicate with confidence.
Here’s to 45 years of growth, dedication, and community—and to many more ahead!
congratulations !
