International Expert Panel on Multilingual Children's Speech meeting in Patras, Greece

This morning members of the International Expert Panel on Multilingual Children's Speech met for 3 hours in Patras, Greece to advance our tutorial paper titled "Speech interventions for multilingual children who do not speak the same language(s) as the speech-language pathologist". We began this paper a number of years ago, and we were able to progress the work significantly this morning. Our thoughtful and robust discussions explored ways to work with children and families in different contexts, countries, cultures and languages. We look forward to sending an updated draft to the rest of the panel members in a month's time, so that we can finalise and submit the paper.
