'Assessing speech in children from multilingual backgrounds – current research and clinical applications'


We are pleased to announce the next study day will be jointly run by the South West Speech CEN with the Bristol Speech and Language Therapy Research Unit. The topic is 'Assessing speech in children from multilingual backgrounds – current research and clinical applications' 

Barbara May Bernhardt and Joe Stemberger are going to present on  “An international cross-linguistic project in typical and protracted phonological development: Clinical Applications”. You can read more about their work at http://phonodevelopment.sites.olt.ubc.ca/

We will also have talks along the same theme from Jane Speake (University of Sheffield and previously head of Cambridge) and Rhonwen Lewis (UWIC). The event will end with a panel discussion where attendees can ask questions of the panel. 

More details about the talks  will follow shortly along with the booking information. It will be on Friday 19th October at The Vassall Centre in Bristol and will be an afternoon session (13.30-16.30). We have tried to keep costs low, and it will be £16.31 (which includes eventbrite fees of £1.31)
