Invited lecture at Cardiff Metropolitan University Centre of Hearing, Language and Communication

Today (Wednesday 24th April) I presented a lecture as part of the Cardiff Metropolitan University Centre of Hearing, Language and Communication Research Lecture Series. My presentation was titled: Assessing Children's Speech in Languages Other than Welsh and English 

It was great to spend time with the team at Cardiff Metropolitan University and to see Prof Robert Mayr again (we met in Sydney last June at the ISB14 conference)

The Speech, Hearing and Communication research group, led by Dr Robert Mayr, has three major strands:
  • Bilingual Development, led by Dr Robert Mayr;
  • Healthy and Impaired Hearing, led by Prof Fei Zhao, and
  • Clinical Speech and Language Research, led by Prof Yvonne Wren.
The latter is run in partnership with the Bristol Speech and Language Therapy Research Unit (BSLTRU). Much of our work involves national and international collaborations, notably with universities in Europe, the USA, China and Japan and Australia.
