This presentation was a really important day for Kate's postdoctoral research. We have had a 18month grant from the Rural Health Research Institute (RHRI) to consider how speech pathologists can support multilingual children, particularly in rural areas. Kate presented our work on the SACHL:

The attendees both provided a wonderful audience for research translation, but also for providing advice about how to make the SACHL better for all.
