PhD by Prior Publication and Editors' Awards presented at CSU Faculty Forum

Marie Ireland is a PhD by Prior Publication student who is enrolled at Charles Sturt University for 1 year to complete her PhD. Of the 13 publications reviewed for her admission, one publication has just won an editors’ award: "Evaluating children in U.S. public schools with speech sound disorders: Considering federal and state laws, guidance" and this research was authored with Sharynne McLeod, Kate Crowe and Kelly Farquharson. 

Today Marie Ireland was invited to describe her work at the CSU Faculty of Arts and Education Forum. It was the middle of the night - so Marie recorded her 3 minute presentation.
