Week 3 of the Tasmanian Kinder Speech Census begins

 At the beginning of week 3 of our Tasmanian Kinder Speech Census we have:

  • 32 schools
  • 1,203 Kinder students
  • 889 parent consent forms returned 
  • LOTS of children who have assented to participating in our research and who have told us how they feel about their speech 
  • LOTS of children assessed using the International Speech Screener (ISS). I personally have assessed 208 children so far :)
  • 63 control children assessed with the Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology (DEAP)


Another day face-to-face with Kinder students in CET schools

The rest of the week I have been assessing the students and undertaking data analysis via Zoom because I am no longer in Tasmania.
