Civil Society Forum at Conference of States Parties, United Nations

On Monday 10th June 2019 I attended the Civil Society Forum at Conference of States Parties, United Nations.  It was very inspiring. The afternoon session was about inclusive education for children with disabilities. Belinda Hill, Vice President of Speech Pathology Australia presented at 3-minute intervention about children with communication disability. In her intervention, she described some of the work of our team, including the following research that was funded by the Australian Research Council and Speech Pathology Australia:
