Aria May graduated from Curtin University in 2010 with a Bachelor
of Science (Speech Pathology) with First Class Honours. Aria is
currently working with children with special needs, and continues to
be passionate about the needs of children from culturally and
linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD). Dr Cori Williams lectures
and supervises research at Curtin University in WA. She has always
been interested in the needs of children with speech and language
difficulties from CALD. This project allowed her to use her interest in
this area to investigate assessment of language impairment in
children learning English as a second language.
