Speech and language workshop
Umina speech pathologist Ms Larissa Raufauore will run a free speech and language workshop for parents at the Beachside Family Centre on Monday, December 7.
Centre facilitator Ms Debbie Notara encouraged parents who were concerned about their child's speech to come along.
Ms Notara said that questions answered would include:
"How can I help my child to talk better?
"When should I see a speech pathologist?
"When should I be able to understand my child?
"If you have ever asked yourself any of these questions, come along and hear a speech pathologist discuss articulation development, how to determine if there is a problem and ways that a parent may help to correct it."
Ms Notara said Beachside Family Centre was offering local parents a great opportunity to learn about speech and language and ways to help their child.
"Trained speech pathologist Larissa Raufauore will run the Kids and Speech Workshop," Ms Notara said.
The Kids and Speech Workshop will be held from 10am to 11.30am at Beachside Family Centre in the grounds of Umina Public School in Sydney Ave, Umina.
Child care is available for a gold coin donation.
Bookings are essential and can be made by calling 4343 1929.
