This session was an #ADRF2024 highlight for me too! I loved Kerrie's reflections on what she learnt along the way, including how to be more compassionate. I hope consistent access to more connected, enabling and collaborative care becomes less of a fight in the future.

Wow Jeanne Gallée (Jeanne = "sion” in “fusion") - this is an amazing article. Your leading question - "Put simply, how much prosody can a speaker “do” with limited syntax?" - is of such theoretical, diagnostic & functional interest. An article I will read & share many times! Keep up this brilliant work! 💫
