CeTasSSD catchup

While I was away the CeTasSSD team finalised the data collection. There are 1207 students in kindergarten across the state and we commenced 918 assessments (completed 903 ISS and 913 SPAA-C). Most of the students we were unable to assess did not have consent forms returned, or the children did not provide assent (n = 15) (numbers updated on 22 June). We are very pleased with this number. We are now analysing the data so that we can create a bespoke speech screening pathway for the state.
