Anne McAllister (speech therapist)

Anne Hutchison McAllister FRCSLT OBE (29 November 1892 – 5 April 1983) was a leading Scottish speech therapist and teacher.

The following year she established speech therapy for children who had undergone surgery to fix Cleft lip and cleft palates at Glasgow's Royal Hospital for Sick Children.

This was following an invitation by Matthew White who was the surgeon carrying out the surgery.

In 1964 she stood down from being the director of the Glasgow School of Speech Therapy.
