Writing chapters for our book: "Children's speech"

This week Dr Elise Baker has been visiting from The University of Sydney. We have been writing chapters for our new book Children's Speech: An Evidence-Based Approach to Assessment and Intervention. We have been drawing on the wisdom and knowledge of so many authors in our field (see the picture of a few of the books we have been consulting!). Today Elise Baker and I went to the Charles Sturt University Dentistry and Oral Health Clinic to take photos of the mouths of ourselves and our family and friends. These photos will be used to demonstrate how speech is produced. We have had a very productive week - and wish that we could do this more often.
