Does anyone know of any Polish speaking SLTs who work with adults or any support organisations in London? @rtslt.bsky.social

The new consensus definition of #Dyslexia includes 'Dyslexia frequently co-occurs with one or more other developmental difficulties, including developmental language disorder, ADHD, developmental coordination disorder, and dyscalculia.' #DevLangDis

I am super excited to say that both of our Dyslexia Delphi papers have been published today! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... and acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Join us! 😀

Frankie is an incredible artist. You'll see some of her work in this video. Frankie also has DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) and dyslexia. Frankie has a strong message for us. For young people with DLD, she suggests 'Surround yourself with people who get you.' www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8vg...

Do we really listen to children and young people with communication needs? Child Language Teaching and Therapy invites submissions of 5000- 8000 words for a forthcoming special issue on listening to children with communication differences. Submit by 18th April 2025 to mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cltt

1 million children with DLD are being ignored! Outrageous. Thanks for highlighting this… what can we do?

If the neurodivergence taskforce wants to make schools better for neurodivergent children, why aren’t the 1 million children with Developmental Language Disorder part of the conversation?😣 This is totally unacceptable! Don't you agree, Department for Education? #TheForgottenMillion

Is your child or a young person you know transitioning from year 6 to year 7 this Summer? Does this young person have Speech, Language & Communication needs? Join us for an introductory session 26th March, 7pm to 7-45 Get in touch with Hannah for more information [email protected] www.afasic.org.uk

Its #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek! Myself and Sarah Griffiths have worked together with clinicians, young people with #devlangdis and families to help mental health practitioners to make sessions more accessible for children with Developmental Language Disorder. Here are signs of DLD in MH settings:

Services for adults with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) in the UK are close to zero but thanks to a small dedicated group they are starting to grow. Please share and respond to @claireclarkslt.bsky.social so we can grow the network #DevLangDis
