Abstract
Approximately 56 countries in the world have speech-language pathology services which are promoted on public websites, The International Directory of Communication Disorders (2016), or The American-Speech-Language-Hearing Association resources (e.g., ASHA, 2016). For the remaining 140+ countries, sources detailing speech-language pathology services and academic programming are not readily available and the status of the profession is unclear. However, recent global efforts have highlighted the lack of rehabilitation services for persons in many countries. This article will review the barriers and solutions for change in locations where services such as speech-language pathology are not available, as well as recent developments that have prompted elevation of the rights of persons with disabilities.
