Feeling invigorated after the DLD diagnostic network, with case discussion (about pragmatic language), service issues (report writing) and lots of sharing of information about developments in the #DevLangDis world. We will have 3 network meetings next year. Join NAPLIC to access: naplic.org.uk

Joined @naplic.bsky.social's journal club yesterday hosted with @cltt.bsky.social 💭 A thought-provoking discussion on #DevLangDis intervention! The speakers convinced me: nursery teaching should be done by SLTs. Observations, facilitation, elicitation. - thoughts? 🧐 #BSkySpeechies

Another reason why we need more diagnosis of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). And greater awareness. Although this applies to justice, it shows how perceptions can alter when others know of a person's needs. #DevLangDis

📣 New paper alert! Within a mock jury study, we found that disclosing a defendant's #DevLangDis status related to fewer guilty verdicts and less harsher sentencing when found guilty. #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

NAPLIC is a great source of information about Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), with resources and events. Including these #DevLangDis

Today we have the next edition of our journal club hosted with @cltt.bsky.social and tomorrow it's DLD diagnostic network. A good time to join NAPLIC NAPLIC.org.uk

We agree with Maddy. Too often the voices of children are missing from conversations around child poverty. In the @newstatesman.com we set out why children have got to have their say in the UK Government's Child Poverty Strategy. Read the full article: bit.ly/4dwA9Ki

#AJSLP study investigates the speech & language intervention plan outputs generated by 6 different #AI tools powered by large language models currently available for clinical writing in speech-language pathology. pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/... @sigperspectives.bsky.social @csdisseminate.bsky.social

Good TES interview with #oracy guru Prof Neil Mercer: ‘In 2023 Sir Keir Starmer pledged that the Labour Party would weave oracy through the curriculum. Yet when the interim report was published, oracy was not mentioned at all. So, is Labour really serious about change?’ www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

Agreed on the general thrust of this being good. A pity the discussion of ‘standard English’ in spoken language isn’t better - it skates over the most important & complex issues & perpetuates the idea that there is such a thing as a single ‘standard’ in speech. 1 www.tes.com/magazine/ana...
