Do you have a child between 0–5 years old? Would you like to help develop their language and literacy skills?

Speech pathologists work with children and families to help to build the foundations on which literacy skills develop and help support a healthy transition into literacy.

Meet your local speech pathologist, enjoy a reading of one of Speech Pathology Australia’s Book of the Year 2024 winning books and find out more about how you can support your child’s language and literacy development at home.
