Country-specific issues affect both the implementation of services for people with communication disabilities and the training of specialists who provide these services. Uganda is a majority world country with an extremely limited specialist service, but is looking to expand it by developing training for specialist workers. This paper reports on the initial processes adopted in Uganda to develop such training. A workshop that brought together all the stakeholders identified key issues. The paper relates these issues to the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics guidelines for education and training and makes suggestions for the way forward.
