Jennifer Peters
Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Jennifer Eileen Peters has been a Pediatric Speech & Language Pathologist for the last 16 years. The only child of a Planter, she underwent a change of schools that encompassed the length and breath of the country. The transfers from state to state dictated by the nature of her father's job, endured her to the multiplicity of Malaysia's rich language and diverse cultural heritage, resulting in her being a fluent bi-lingual speaker, with an understanding of two other languages. This early introduction to the complexities of languages prevalent in Malaysia was to be the basis of her book, 'Making Chatter Matter'.
On completion of her Secondary education in Malaysia, she obtained her B.A. (Hons) in 'Linguistics and Language Pathology' from the University of Reading, United Kingdom, and her Certificate to Practice, from the 'Royal College of Speech-Language Therapists', London. She obtained her Post-Graduate Diploma in 'Language and Communication Impairment in Children', from The University of Sheffield, United Kingdom and has successfully completed several postgraduate assessment courses offered by ASHA (American Speech Hearing Association) and from Speech Pathology Australia.
