Talkabout

Talkabout is a professional development journal produced twice a year by speech-language pathologists throughout Education Queensland, in conjunction with Disability Services Support Unit. Each issue focuses on a particular theme related to supporting students with special needs in communication. Anyone interested in this area would find Talkabout a valuable resource.

Talkabout can be accessed electronically at EQ Speech-Language Pathologists' Professional Community on the Learning Place.
