Government's "solutions" for the speech and language crisis in the SEND system simply don't fit the scale of need! Children with speech and language challenges need far more than limited programme expansions (with less funding, at that!) – they need long-term investment and system-wide reform!

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

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

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...
