Today 37 speech pathologists from across the Central West of NSW met for a professional development day organised by Christine Porter from EnhanceABILITY. There were nine presentations from local speech pathologists, including myself. My presentation was titled "Supporting multilingual and multicultural children and families in rural NSW ".
It was wonderful to connect with friends and previous students. Some people I enjoyed catching up with:
- Emily-Jane Woodhead who began working today with our team at Charles Sturt University.
- Sarah Faulks who finished her honours degree at CSU last year and is now working in Parkes.
- Kristyne Smith who is a very experienced teacher and now a new graduate in Bathurst
- Lydia Parker who is a new graduate in Orange who began last year.
- I was impressed that Kelly and Steph travelled for 3 hours to come from Condobolin for the event.
