Patsy: Introduction   Obstacles to Growth Patsy Background Project started in 1998 Initially funded by Nuffield Developed at University of Edinburgh Collaboration with teaching departments in several institutions.

Notes

PATSy's history began with a successful proposal to the Nuffield Foundation (a UK charitable foundation) by Dr Richard Cox (then at University of Edinburgh) and Dr Carmel Lum (then at Queen Margaret University College, Edinburgh). This allowed the first PATSy project to begin 1998 as a collaboration between the Universities of Edinburgh, York, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Queen Margaret University College.

The first development project produced a multi-media collection of test and case data from adults and children with speech and language disorders. A second round of funding by the Nuffield Foundation followed and - in a second PATSy project - saw a collaboration between the Universities of Sussex, York and Cambridge, and the Astley Ainslie Rehabilitation Hospital (Edinburgh) which resulted in 3 further domains being added to the system - Dyslexia, Neuropsychology and Medical Rehabilitation.
