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/...

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

Just out - Open Access #DevLangDis #DLD Leitão, S., St Clair, M., Botting, N., Gibson, J. L., & Jackson, E. (2025). “They don't realise how hard he has to try every day”: The rewards and challenges of parenting a child with developmental language disorder. IJLCD . dx.doi.org/10.1111/1460...

We all know of ineffective, low-value, and wasteful practices that need to be de-implemented to make room for impact. This article by Norton and Chambers is a great starting point if you're new to the concept of de-implementation: implementationscience.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

So I just read this yesterday. Wonderful study that robustly explores the relationship between what language kids hear and what they learn. My take homes 1/
