| DECEMBER 2006 Stuttering Information for Preschool Teachers Speechwoman began 2006 by recognising an excellent student project devoted to adolescents who stutter. A team of clever and creative web-weavers at LaTrobe University have caught her eye again with a nice, neat, navigable and no-nonsense web site for preschool teachers and child care workers needing plain-English, high quality information about little people who have fluency concerns. The site was produced as part of a final year Bachelor of Speech Pathology project by Katherine Anderson, Tania Attard, Rachael Barringer, Alison Ferraro and Zoe King, guided by Dr. Susan Block. Coming as she does from another planet, and with her tendency to dream up jobs for other people, Speechwoman wondered whether there were plans afoot to develop translations into community languages of some of the resources, such as the very good PowerPoint, FAQ and Checklist. |

| NOVEMBER 2006 Clinical Decision Making with Linguistically Diverse Learners GONE This interactive web-based portal is designed to support speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who provide clinical service to children who are linguistically diverse. It takes just a few minutes to fill out brief registration details in return for a user name and password to access the site's four specific learning components which are password protected here. Speechwoman was so excited about this amazing resource that she nearly sprained her typing finger bringing it to you. Smiling bravely, the babe commented, "Sure it was tough, but worth sacrificing a fingernail - even if only for the pleasure of finding this on the links page". What a trooper! |

| OCTOBER 2006 Targets and Activities Project (TAP) The UK-based Targets and Activities Project (TAP) website has been set up to allow Speech and Language Therapists, Language and Communication Teachers and others to share ideas with those working with children with communication difficulties in schools and other locations. On the TAP site are activities sheets for working with children at a variety of different levels and across a variety of curriculum and skill areas. The site uses the P-scales and the lower levels from the National Curriculum as a means for organising these documents in a way which should make them easy to find. These documents use a simple standardised format to make them easy and quick to read. TAP sheets are especially designed to be used by education staff - such as learning support assistants - who have had guidance from the appropriate specialist. |

| APRIL 2006 RSF Earthspeak The EARTHSPEAK people build parent speech training programs that aim to complete the job that cleft palate surgery begins. Parents and other lay people, irrespective of their literacy levels, are taught to help their children gain a quality of life previously unavailable to them in a range of countries outside the industrialised world. Visit their informative web site for details of week-long Corrective Babbling speech camps for parent and child teams, where parents are taught how to follow a step-by-step program outlined for them in a training manual in their native language. Impressively, EARTHSPEAK reports that most teams complete the program successfully in from four to nine months. |
