This week our CeTasSSD Speech Census team met to celebrate meeting so many wonderful 4- to 5-year-olds during our research. We also reflected on what went well and what can be changed in the future.
Here are our statistics so far:
- 1207 Kinder students in the state
- 981 consent forms returned (226 not returned)
- 945 consent forms provided consent (36 did not provide consent)
- 874 assessments attempted (45+ more not yet entered into the spreadsheet)
- 14 children did not give assent and 8 could not be assessed (e.g., due to disability)
- 859 (+45) children have completed the International Speech Screener (ISS)
Thanks so much to the children and schools (especially the SSCs and TAs). Thanks to our wonderful CeTasSSD research team. Hooray team!
