I am a member of SCAC and Joe our Coordinator has been helping us with some advices and books. Without talking for Joe, I have to say that there are as of now no institutions here that offer speech therapy courses as well as specialists in that field. Proof is that when one scientist who wanted a speech diagnostic evaluation of some SCAC members and asked Joe to look for one specialist here to help in doing that, Joe contacted the national order of medical practitioners here and there wasn't any specializing in speech therapy. Same the Faculties of medicine in the University of Yaounde and Buea were contacted and there was no one offering a course in speech therapy there.
After learning of the BRSD and CCC/SLP in the US, I would be grateful if you or any other person there can link me up to any institution there where I can undergo a speech therapy course by correspondence. The knowledge acquired will help many people here.
