Community Outreach Training Project:
Each academic year, professionals from
the Child Language Center are available to provide teacher-training programs
at area preschools. The goal of this project is to train preschool teachers
to identify and refer children with suspected speech and language problems,
prepare preschool directors to integrate this training into personnel and
childcare practices, provide speech/language and hearing screening to children
in participating schools, and inform families in the school about speech
and language development and the key role it plays in academic and social
success. For further information on this program, contact Barbara Kiernan,
Ph.D., Child Language Center Director, by calling 620-0420 or sending an
e-mail to bkiernan@u.arizona.edu.
