Review of Objectives for 2020-2021

i. Continue to support DBS trials around the world. During the period we supported trials in Brazil, Turkey, France, Sweden, Colombia and the UK. Some of these have been successfully completed and others are ongoing. A number of journal articles are currently in submission.
ii. Continue to submit journal articles. We continue to publish with others, such as the Brazil and South Africa groups, as well as publishing papers on our own UK book-sharing research. Two significant publications are listed below.
iii. Continue to support the Mikhulu Child Development Trust (MCDT) in South Africa in the production of wordless picture book and their other activities. Two to three new wordless books continue to be produced annually in South Africa. These are widely distributed in South Africa and are used elsewhere (e.g., in Italy). See https://mikhulutrust.org/what-we-do/wordless-picture-books/ for an account of progress with creating new wordless books; and see https://mikhulutrust.org/annual-reports/ for the MCDT’s 2021 annual report.
