The Fernando Pessoa School of Health (ESS-FP) was present at the II Conference for Young Researchers in Speech Therapy, which took place on November 15th at the University of Aveiro. ESS-FP's participation once again highlighted the scientific quality and academic commitment of its students and recent graduates, who publicly presented their graduation projects to the scientific community.
