Dr Pauline Frizelle has been awarded funding for the The Happy Talk project, funded by the HRB DIFA awards (Definitive Intervention and Feasibility Awards) (circa 1.3 mil.). The proposed study aims to build on our pilot trial by 1) completing a much larger study where children’s allocation to the programme will be decided randomly and where we will look at costs and benefits on a larger scale; 2) identifying key features that support successful application of the programme in the real world and incorporating these into future roll-outs; 3)learning how to make Happy Talk work in a range of contexts.

Dr Pauline Frizelle has secured funding for the TICLD project (International Consensus for Language Disorder) supported and funded by the HRB through the APRO award (Applied Programme of Research, 2.5 mil.) with the title 'Maximising the benefits of intervention research to support language and communication in children'.
