Had a go at the #betterposter design for #NZSPAConf this year. Our team found that “Speech-language pathologists support families to be ‘actively involved’ in intervention, both inside and outside sessions.” What does this look like in your service? Come have a chat tomorrow!

Every thesis is a team effort - and without my advisors @nerinascarinci and @Louise_Hickson, the amazing people at @HEARingCRC and @UQ_CDC, the support of @UQ_News and my friends and family I wouldn’t have this thing to be proud of.
