ABC radio interview
This morning I had a radio interview with Bec Simmons from ABC Gippsland and Goulburn-Murray 9:25-9:38am to talk about children's speech acquisition. The interview was prompted by this CSU news release: https://news.csu.edu.au/latest-news/when-do-children-learn-speech-sounds
We covered speech acquisition, multilingualism, transition to school, and the impact of mask-wearing during COVID on children's speech and language.
