Firstconnections is a project that is funded by Mission Australia.

The firstconnections project aims to:

  • increase the capacity of playgroup facilitators, early childhood workers and parents/carers to recognise speech and language concerns in children attending early childhood services and playgroups;
  • increase the capacity of playgroup facilitators, early childhood workers and parents/carers to support language development in children using play-based activities;
  • increase access by service providers and parents/carers of 3-6 years olds to speech pathology advice, referral and treatment.

This project is in its early stages so watch this space for updates.
