Welcome Holly
Today was my first official meeting with Holly McAlister. She is an honours student in the School of Community Health at Charles Sturt University. Her primary supervisor is Dr Suzanne Hopf and I am her co-supervisor. Her topic is "English speech sound development in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) Fijian children and the implications for speech pathology practice". Our meeting was held via CSU webconferencing from Fiji, Albury and Bathurst. Holly shared these useful critical appraisal tools from the Joanna Briggs Institute: http://joannabriggs.org/research/critical-appraisal-tools.html I am very pleased to be working with Holly and Suzanne (and love learning from my students).
