Our recent ARC Discovery grant success has been picked up by The Australian newspaper's IT section. The reporter Jennifer Foreshew has written a story about our project titled: SoundSorter will get the toddlers talking. Her news item was in response to the Charles Sturt University media release about recent early childhood research grants. It is exciting to see an acknowledgment of the important issues about children's
speech and language acquisition in a section of the newspaper that does not
traditionally cover this topic.
This morning, the Sound Start research team met for over an hour via Skype (linked with Bristol UK, Bathurst, Sydney, and Albury) to discuss the modifications of the Phoneme Factory Sound Sorter software for Australian children, and other aspects of the research so that we are ready to begin in the new year.
