Collaboration with the Trinh Foundation to support Vietnamese speech therapy
Professor Lindy McAllister is a Director of the Trinh Foundation and is working to develop the speech therapy profession in Vietnam. Lindy was instrumental in Ben Pham moving from Hanoi, Vietnam to CSU, Bathurst to study her PhD with me. On the weekend Lindy, Ben, and I were able to meet and talk about this fantastic partnership. Since beginning in July, Ben has worked very hard on her PhD. Already she has had a poster presentation accepted at a national conference in 2015 and is ready to submit her first English-language journal article to a journal.
