Talk To Your Baby 2007 conference report - 'Communication Consequences'
In November 2007, Talk To Your Baby held Communication Consequences, a reflective conference which considered that strong early communication skills are vital - not least as a prerequisite for social inclusion. Speakers reflected on recent academic thinking and considered the wider picture, providing the arguments to make the case for more early communication work. Practical multi-agency initiatives from around the country were also featured. Speakers included:
- Leslie Gutman, Centre for the Wider benefits of Learning,
