“The app and resources are benefiting our mob to work alongside speech pathologists and other people with their child. This app here has come a long way, and it is really important, and it’s really useful for people … it’s very vital and really important for how to connect to that child and how to connect to that parent.”
“When I use it with the families, I can see their face light up, and just some of them are like ‘really!’ Like that kind of feeling, and some of them say, ‘Oh it’s really true what this word list, that has been created, is true’.”
“I thought the way we was talking to our younger generation, our little babies, I thought the way we was talking was always normal, but now I realise that it has an impact on both myself and my grandchildren. Now I can relate more and understand more better when I’m talking to the little ones.” – Vanessa Davis, Senior Aboriginal researcher, Tangentyere Council
