This month Dr Yvonne Wren attended the 15th International Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics Association (ICPLA) conference in Stockholm, Sweden.  While there she presented data from her research on Speech Characteristics of 5 year olds and Babbling in Infants.  

Whilst in Stockholm at ICPLA, Dr Wren joined colleagues Prof Sharynne Mcleod and Sarah Masso from Charles Sturt University, New South Wales, Australia. This provided the opportunity to discuss data from the Sound Start study which is currently running in Sydney. The Sound Start study will evaluate the impact of using software to help children with speech sound disorders. The software, Phoneme Factory Sound Sorter, was developed at the Bristol Speech & Language therapy Research Unit.
