Language development and your child: a speech therapist talk for parents

Are you the parent or caregiver of a young child? Come along to this FREE event to hear experienced local speech therapist Jenny Edgar talk about children's language development.

Jenny Edgar runs Perth Speech Therapy and has a Masters in Speech Pathology and a Degree in Early Childhood and Primary Education.

This event is part of the Speechie Library Talks campaign.

About Speechie Library Talks

Speechie Library Talks are an initiative of Speech Pathology Australia in collaboration with the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA).

The talks aim to support parents and carers with strengthening their children's language and literacy skills, by providing resources, information and tools to encourage language development.

In these talks you will hear from members of the Speech Pathology Australia Association who will share their knowledge about the role of speech pathologists in language and literacy development for 0-5 year olds, as well as information about what you can do at home to encourage your child's literacy and learning.

This is a child friendly event, children are welcome and will be provided with some paper activities in the back of the space.
