International Expert Panel meeting in Dublin
A few members of the International Expert Panel on Multilingual Children's Speech were available during the IALP congress in Dublin to continue discussions about writing a tutorial to support SLPs to provide speech intervention for children who do not speak the same languages as them. New ideas were added to the points that were raised at our meeting in Halifax during June. The next step is to collate the excellent suggestions and invite the online panel members to contribute to the discussion.
