Visit from leading international researcher, Assoc. Prof. Pamela Snow
Talking Trouble NZ hosted a visit from Pamela Snow from Monash University for a week at the end of October 2013. Pamela has conducted extensive research into the oral language needs of vulnerable children, including those involved with child protection and youth justice services. Over the week, Pamela participated in a range of meetings with key agencies and researchers, alongside the Talking Trouble NZ team. She also did two presentations: 1) for an audience of professionals who work with vulnerable children and young people and 2) for an audience of speech-language therapists.The presentations were audio and video recorded. You are welcome to listen / watch Pamela's presentations and download the accompanying slides on the links below. We would be keen to receive feedback about this professional development and to discuss the implications of the research presented for our NZ context.
