Children should be seen AND heard: the importance of communication so children can thrive

Professor Sharynne McLeod, Professor of Speech and Language Acquisition

Children’s drawings, personal insights, and data from 10,000 children within the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) are described and the communicative competence of multilingual and Indigenous children is celebrated.
