RHRI Project 8 meeting and planning in Perth

Our RHRI Project 8 began earlier this year and is progressing very well. We met in Perth on the Sunday before the Speech Pathology Australia National Conference to progress our research to the next stage of data collection. 

We are presenting three papers from our research undertaken as part of this grant:

  1. How can I assess children’s speech in a language I do not speak? Insights from VietSpeech research - Kate Margetson and Sharynne McLeod
  2. Caregivers’ insights into supporting late talkers using Target Word™ Hanen Program® for parents  - Sarah Bartlett and Sharynne McLeod 
  3. Supporting 2-yearold’s communication: Collaborations between rural health professionals and early childhood education services - Cathie Matthews, Sharynne McLeod, et al.

We have arranged a number of meetings to progress our research. Additionally, there are many papers on the conference program that are very relevant to our work - so we are learning a lot.
