Writing retreat at ACU

 I have spent three very productive days at the Australian Catholic University (ACU) in Brisbane analysing data and writing with Dr Anna Cronin, A/Prof Jane McCormack and Caroline Tiong. During the week we also worked online with Dr Marie Ireland (in USA) and Dr Audrey Wang (in NSW). We are coming to the end of our grant with the Once Upon at Time Foundation and it has been wonderful to listen to the children's insights about their speech therapy - including what they liked and the few things that they did not enjoy. We have been writing a journal article and conference presentations during the week.
