Report Writing & DLD

Report writing is a complex business! In this episode of The Talking DLD Podcast we're delving into what makes a report truly accessible with Harmony Turnbull, researcher and Senior Speech and Language Pathologist at the Department of Education, Tasmania.

More specifically, we discuss what health professionals can do to make reports more likely to be understood and used.

Harmony is a PhD candidate at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and she is currently conducting research into allied health reports. Her research includes discussions with people that have lifelong disability about the reports they get from people such as psychologists, physios, OTs and speech pathologists.

Harmony would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of lutruita (Tasmania) where she lives and works. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples here today.'
