Speechie Library Talks 2020

The role of speech pathologists in children’s language and literacy development will be the feature of Speech Pathology Australia’s inaugural Speechie Library Talks campaign. Speechie Library Talks will facilitate connection between speech pathologists and their local public or school library in a series of events to be held in November 2020 to coincide with the Association’s Book of the Year celebrations. By connecting speech pathologists with their local public or school library, and their broader community, the aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of speech pathologists' role in developing children’s language and literacy, the Association’s Book of the Year Awards, and how library resources can play a part in building language and literacy. The Association will collaborate on the campaign with the Australian Library Information Association (ALIA). Parents, carers and those interested in children’s language and literacy development will be invited to attend a talk to find out more about how speech pathologists can help their child’s language and literacy development and the resources available at their local library. Members will be supported by the Association's Communications and Marketing team
