Treading softly, softly

1 JANUARY 2003

Images capturing how students can learn "from the heart" make up an exhibition opening in the Albury City Council Chambers foyer in June. The photographs were taken as part of a collaborative project between speech pathology and photography students from Charles Sturt University (CSU) and the parents of children with significant disabilities. The local parents are employed as tutors for the second year CSU speech pathology students in a project funded by Albury City. The images were taken while the speech pathology students were working directly with the local parents and their families in their homes. "Through their direct involvement in our course, these parents contribute to educating a generation of speech pathologists who are highly aware of issues and conflicts associated with parenting a child with severe communication difficulties," project coordinator Dr Ruth Beecham said. As part of the exhibition and the project, members of the public are invited to comment on the photographs and the messages shown through them.
