Abstract
PURPOSE
The purpose of this foreword is to introduce readers to the Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools (LSHSS) Forum: Changemakers Igniting Innovation. This forum includes six articles presenting on a variety of topics, all of which were recognized at the 2023 American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Annual Convention for their exceptional potential to produce substantive, transformative change within the discipline of communication sciences and disorders.
CONCLUSION
As showcased in this forum, there are numerous ways in which researchers and clinicians ignite and expand transformative change in our discipline through impactful and meaningful ways (e.g., leveraging the use of new technologies, reimagining current practices, reframing contemporary perspectives), all of which have the potential to positively influence patient/student outcomes and contribute to innovative best practices for future clinical and research-related endeavors.
