I am in Tasmania this week to assess children's speech across the state as part of our research grant with Catholic Education Tasmania. It is wonderful to visit schools with Felicity Laurence and Lisa Johnson.
This is a really important study. One of the speech assistants aptly named this phase of the research the "CET speech census".
We currently have 785 consent forms and ICS data through Qualitrix.
Some of the unique experiences from this week:
- A baby deer was shown to the children in the classroom we were visiting (very tiny and cute!)
- One child came three times to be assessed (he took his sticker off so we didn't remember he had been assessed before)
- Our treehouse speech sound poster (McLeod & Crowe, 2018) was on the speech room wall at one of the schools
