Living Life with a Communication Disorder
Communication disorders are wide ranging and extend across the entire lifespan. However, research into speech and language impairment has only recently started to focus on the impact of these for individuals and their families. Living life with a communication disorder is never straightforward, and we hope that this issue brings together and highlights some of the leading work in this area.

The King's Speech and Stuttering Research
Stuttering was a much talked about issue in 2011, largely due to the huge success of the film ‘The King’s Speech’. Inspired by this film, the editors of IJLCD put together a selection of recent IJLCD articles on the theme of stuttering. They chose only recent studies and aimed for articles that highlight the richness of stuttering research that takes place around the world.

In recognition of the strength and scope of the journal, Thomson Reuters has included IJLCD in two categories in the Science Citation Index in addition to two categories within the Social Sciences Citation Index. IJLCD is now listed in Audiology & Speech-Language Pathology, and Rehabilitation in the SCI along with Linguistics, and Rehabilitation in the SSCI.

IJLCD is the RCSLT's widely-respected international research journal. Find out more about the RCSLT – the services they provide, the campaign work they do with governments and partner organisations and their activities with educators.

Each year, towards the end of the autumn term, the department of Language and Communication Science at City University London, hosts a lecture by a leader in the field of language and communication disorders, sponsored by IJLCD. A paper based on this lecture is then submitted for publication in IJLCD.
