CeTasSSD data collection has begun

The day has finally come that we have begun the research with 1,200 Kinder children in Tasmania. We are using the Australian English version of the International Speech Screener (ISS) and a question from the SPAA-C.  Ally Bennett, Emma Scanlon and I assessed 24 children across 2 schools on the first day (Monday) - which is 2% of the research population. The children and staff were excellent. We have a fun few weeks ahead. Thanks everyone.
