We are systematically updating the Multilingual Children's Speech website (https://www.csu.edu.au/research/multilingual-speech/home). Here is the new content:

- Speech assessment tools now has 379 assessments (262 assessments have been added) https://www.csu.edu.au/research/multilingual-speech/speech-assessments/speech-assessment-tools
- Speech interventions has 168 interventions (168 have been added - new page) https://www.csu.edu.au/research/multilingual-speech/speech-interventions
- First Nations resources has 57 children's books (57 have been added - new page) https://www.csu.edu.au/research/multilingual-speech/first-nations-resources
- Multilingual children's speech development has 67 videos (67 have been added + more to come) https://www.csu.edu.au/research/multilingual-speech/speech-acquisition/multilingual-childrens-speech-development
People can no longer say that there are "no studies/assessments/interventions/resources" in languages other than English. There are a LOT (especially if you look beyond the English language).
Information has been added by collaborating with colleagues, mostly authors of The Oxford Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World. Thank you everyone for your generosity to make this website such a useful resource.
At CSU Dr Helen L. Blake has been amazing working with me on this project.
The fantastic CSU webteam have been so
supportive and creative: Boram Kwon, Alex Moore, Lindsey Ting, Kath,
Kelly Bull, Amber Murray – overseen by Paula Woodhouse. (I am so pleased we have made it to the top of their workplan. I originally booked in the update of this website just before the COVID pandemic - so appreciate their current focus on our site).
