$$$$ Ky Dickens' Telepathy Tapes merch - great representation of the brainwashing and also being completely inadequate as a form of sun protection. Whoever came up with this one was prioritising the merch $$ over the message.

Every time I teach about standard language ideology in my Sociolinguistics course, I make it a point to stand on the table and bellow, "YOU HAVE AN ACCENT," to everyone. If they remember nothing else from my course, I sure hope they remember this.

🔐💰 in @ashajournals.bsky.social Determining how to best assess & intervene with all individuals, regardless of home language or disability status, is a priority for SLPs. A universally usable screener for language disorders is one tool that could help. pubs.asha.org/doi/epdf/10.... 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES

Mealtimes should be nourishing - both physiologically & emotionally. But, hospital eating environments in mental health wards don't always create the best setting for healing. Take a look at our animation with @susanguthrieslt.bsky.social exploring patient stories: vimeo.com/1041186684...

SOME things that go along with #GLPNLA 1. Claims of hyperlexia 2. Claims of hypernumeracy 3. Claims they need whole literacy not phonics 4. Underestimates the child’s ability to acquire language single words or answer questions (at odd with claims of presuming competence) 5. Pushing FC/S2C (hazard)

Couple of recent reports for work by consultants have used AI generated automated alt text descriptions for images. Many of them are useless, and some are hilariously bad. A kind of performative “compliance”, where the need for accessibility is acknowledged, but done as cheaply as possible.

… “he personifies the bad-faith tactics of conspiracy theorists globally, “selling” the flawed premise that any assertion is valid until others prove it false.” If you say something works, it’s up to you to prove it, not up to others to disprove it.

If you are resting your case for #GestaltLanguageProcessing and #NaturalLanguageAcquisition on books, unwritten books, or journal articles on research supposedly 15 years in the making but never reported - have you ever asked yourself WHY is it not appearing in any journals or books to date?

At #ASHA24 there were 2 papers of systematic reviews of #GestaltLanguageProcessing by SEPARATE research groups! 1. Ours - systematic review - empty 2. Theirs - systematic review - empty Ours had a tighter inclusion criteria. So even a looser inclusion criteria made no difference to the result.
