How the College of Speech Therapists got its name and how it became the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists

Dr Linda Armstrong, our Speech and Language Therapy friend, was on the trail to discover where the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists got its name. We thought it fitting to share this post today, 6th January, as this was the official inauguration date (in 1945) of the, then named, College of Speech Therapists!

Two organisations amalgamated in the first half of the 1940s to become the College of Speech Therapists (CST). The process was protracted, not least because it happened mostly during the second world war. I’ve outlined the story of how the British Society of Speech Therapists and the Association of Speech Therapists (previously the Remedial Section of the Association of Teachers of Speech and Drama) came together in ‘Stop-go - how the College of Speech Therapists was formed’ (PDF). 

It hadn’t been all that long before then that ‘speech therapist’ had become the accepted title for the profession. In the first 30 years of the twentieth century, there was a wide range of job titles used. For example, Cortlandt MacMahon went by instructor in voice production, instructor for speech defects (and breathing exercises) and speech specialist among other titles. In 1911, his was the first UK hospital speech therapy clinic (in St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London). That variety of job titles reflects the quickly developing state of the profession at the time as well as his interests and focus. ‘Speech’ is prominent among the job title names he used as are ‘voice’ and ‘instructor’ (but not therapist).

I’ve looked into the history of the name of the profession and the professional body: ‘Changing name of the profession and the professional body’. Notable dates include:

But that hasn’t explained the choice of ‘College of Speech Therapists’ as the name of the professional body that was formed from a society and an association. I’ve known for some time that this was attributed to Dr Leopold Stein – it was mentioned in the 1995 history of the professional body. He was an Austrian doctor and speech therapist who emigrated to the UK in 1938. He very quickly established himself as a leader in UK speech therapy and became a CST Founder Fellow (with Professor Jois Stansfield).

Much more recently, I came across contemporary evidence in the 1942 meeting minutes of the Remedial Section of the Association of Teachers of Speech and Drama (now looked after by University of Strathclyde’s Archives and Special Collections). However I was disappointed to find that there’s not a copy of Dr Stein’s memorandum nor of the minutes from the special meeting to discuss the memorandum within the minutes book.

In the minutes of the meeting of 7 December 1942, reproduced with the permission of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists.

Dr Stein was centrally involved in the 1961 CST conference in Birmingham. It was an unusual conference with unusual proceedings, published as a book (but that’s another story). His paper in ‘Signs, Signals and Symbols’ mentioned his suggestion for naming the new professional body. I thought one of the references looked worth following up as possible information from the time about the name.

I tracked it down to the library of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh – it was in part 2 of a paper on the growth and present state of speech therapy. I was very glad I was the only person there when I read page 141 and Dr Stein’s suggestion and argument for ‘College of Speech Therapists’ in it. Nobody was bothered by my excited screech!

‘We are here pointing to the need for a college of speech therapists on the lines of the existing ones, such as the Royal College of Physicians. This demand appears strengthened by the requirements of daily practice, the upholding of the professional standard, and the legal considerations.’ ‘On the scientific side, the facilities provided by a College, such as lectures, papers read at regular intervals, the publication pf the proceedings of scientific meeting, discussion groups for under-graduates and post-graduates, examinations … will certainly widen the scope of speech therapy, and so raise its standard.’

The new professional body certainly met those requirements, eg. Jansson lecture series; College refresher courses; Speech therapy CPD 1935-1965 (with Professor Jois Stansfield); College conferences; FCST by thesis 1949-1988.

I was delighted to uncover contemporary evidence for the naming of the College of Speech Therapists. Another piece placed in the UK speech therapy history jigsaw. Now, the original 1944 College of Speech Therapists’ Articles…where are they I wonder?

With thanks to Estela Dukan, Assistant Librarian at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh for facilitating my access to Dr Stein’s paper. Thanks too to Professor Jois Stansfield for the copy of Signs, Signals and Symbols as well as more generally for long-standing and ongoing collaboration in researching UK speech therapy history.

I was commissioned to create a series of illustrations for Bulletin magazine, the official publication for the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT). These illustrations were used as a cover/opener and across spreads for a feature about dysphagia and mental health. Dysphagia is the medical term for swallowing difficulties, which can lead to choking. It is prevalent among adults with mental health conditions, especially in psychiatric settings. However, there is a widespread lack of awareness of this and dysphagia needs can be ‘overshadowed’ by a mental health diagnosis. The article goes on to talk about how speech and language therapists should share information and experiences, to strengthen the networks of therapists working in the area of dysphagia and mental health.

‘Do Archives dream of Electr(on)ic Records?’

Display of digital documents on our online catalogue                                                

Here at Archives and Special Collections, we’ve a pretty exciting development to share: we have now completed the processing and cataloguing of our first born-digital archive collection (other than oral history interviews and lecture recordings) that is also fully available to view online!

The past year’s lockdown has been a good opportunity to focus on our digital records - both digital versions of records that are still safe in the store-rooms on campus, and those that were created digitally. At the start of 2021 we received an accession of a fully born-digital collection of papers from Archives friend, and retired speech and language therapist, Linda Armstrong relating to the history of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT), and the speech and language therapy profession in general (Collection reference: GB 249 ARM).

Full catalogue, and documents, is available here: https://atom.lib.strath.ac.uk/papers-of-linda-armstrong-relating-to-the-history-of-the-royal-college-of-speech-and-language-therapists

The papers comprise lists and analytical articles relating to the history of the College and the profession, such as early members, conferences, the changing name of the profession, and analyses of the College publications. The records themselves were researched by Linda Armstrong, and some collaboration with Jois Stansfield, between 1999-2021 using the papers of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists: both those held at our archive, and those still held by RCSLT.

What is particularly exciting about this collection is that Linda, who created the records, is happy for them to be accessed online and so once we processed the files through our digital preservation software, we were able to attach copies of the documents themselves to our online catalogue, so when you search for these items in the catalogue, you may also access them directly.

Digital preservation work-flow for Linda’s files

We have seen an increasing demand for digital access to our collections in the last few years, and especially during lockdown in the past year. For many reasons, it is very difficult to provide online access to our physical collections as well as to some of our digital collections. The cost and time involved in digitising large amounts of paper records is huge, and so we can only do this on a small scale. Also, some digital files cannot be shared online due to sensitivity and data protection or copyright issues. It has been very exciting, therefore, to process a collection that can be made fully available online.

Image ref: RCSLT/11/2

The papers themselves make a great companion to the papers of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, for which we recently completed the catalogue and will be a great source for those studying the history of speech and language therapy.

We would like to thank Linda Armstrong very much for depositing the collection, making it fully accessible, her help during its cataloguing, and for her research into the history of the College and profession. Last year we featured many of her fascinating blog-posts in honour of the anniversaries of the College and of teaching speech and language therapy at the University.

These papers are a great resource to bring to a fully digital platform. Have a look for yourself and delve into the history of speech and language therapy!

This Croydon schoolboy's joke is so funny he got into the final of a national competition

This Croydon schoolboy's joke is so funny he got into the final of a national competition

A schoolboy wowed judges and fellow competitors as he reached the final of the prestigious Voice Box comedy awards held at Speaker’s House in Westminster.

Daneil Neacsu, 8, from Waddon, fought off tough competition to become one of 25 children chosen from schools across the UK to reach the final on Wednesday, April 25.

Daniel, age 8, who attends the Aerodrome Primary Academy, delighted the packed audience of politicians, parents and children with his joke:

“I went to a really sad wedding recently…yes, even the wedding cake was in tiers!”

Daniel’s mother, Alina, explained that she wasn’t at all surprised that Daniel had got to the final of a competition like Voice Box.

“He is always looking up new jokes on the internet or learning them from his friends at school,” she said.

“He’s a bit of an entertainer as a whole really, and I could definitely see him doing something like this in the furture.”

Daniel was presented his award award by master of ceremonies, Nick Smith MP (Image: @geoffwilson2018)

Voice Box is an annual competition, organised by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) and partnered by National Association of Head Teachers and supported by The Communication Trust.

Daniel enjoyed a great day out with his parents, who were able to watch Daniel tell his joke and be given his prize.

Unfortunately Daniel didn’t win the top award, but Alina stressed that she was still incredibly proud of his achievements.

Daniel and his parents enjoyed a great trip to Westminster for the awards

“It’s amazing for all of us. He just came home one day to say he had entered a competition, and now look at him,” she said.

“We were all so pleased when he won his school competition, and to be able to go to the final was such a special occasion for us all.

“He did all the joke research himself, and practiced it himself, so it’s all down to him, and we are so proud.

“Although he didn’t win the main prize, he was still very happy. He got a goodie bag and 3D model of Big Ben as a runner-up prize.”

Rt Hon John Bercow MP, Speaker of The House of Commons, said: “I’m delighted this wonderful event is taking place in Speaker’s House for the fourth year running.

“Voice Box is such a fun competition and I applaud the RCSLT and its partners for running it. It’s extremely important that children with speech, language and communication needs receive the support they require to reach their potential.”
