Communication skills are key to developing literacy in children, with underdevelopment leading to potential shortfalls in future academic achievement, social inclusion, employment, and long-term health outcomes. T2S is a community partnership program that aims to address this. It is facilitated by speech pathologists and partners with Sing & Grow at Liverpool Hospital. T2S builds children's self-regulation, social and emotional wellbeing, language skills and pre-literacy. T2S also supports parents' responsiveness to their children's speech development through a blend of practical sessions and efforts to enrich the home environment. The program is part of a broader system of early intervention activities that provide access to individual speech and music therapy where required. Transition to School is open to children who are planning to attend school the following year and is delivered over 16 weeks. I commend the Speech Pathology Unit at Liverpool Hospital for its efforts in addressing this crucial health issue
