Just finished listening to Tim Winton’s Juice (by virtue of my library’s audiobook app!) - excellent sci-fi saga, dark, rich, beautiful narrator voice. Recommend! (Not for the faint hearted though!)

@royalsociety.org I hear you’re blocking people calling on you to cancel Elon Musk’s fellowship. His presence besmirches your name. He’s a danger to British democracy. Reconsider.

Two children in every UK classroom have Developmental Language Disorder. Yet most people have never heard of it. We’re proud to launch #VoicesForDLD, a movement making sure people with DLD are understood, supported and heard. Join us and demand change > speechandlanguage.org.uk/get-involved...

Please please I cannot spend the rest of my life asking “Is this AI…?”

I was today years old when I found out that hearing parents of children born deaf ARE NOT given access to any free BSL lessons - parents have to pay themselves, + they get more expensive as they go up the levels (which they need to support their child to have rich communication). How crap is that??

Developed by people with DLD and their families and launched in 2023, the UK's vision for DLD continues to guide the collaborative work conducted by NAPLIC together with @afasic.bsky.social, @speechandlanguk.bsky.social & Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists #DevLangDis

Bluesky academics, a favour please. I'm recruiting neurodivergent staff and students from UK business schools to join the Consultation Circle for my doctoral research at Lancaster. Co-researchers, not participants. Reposts hugely appreciated 🦋 🔗 linktr.ee/standpoint

Autistic people are in every profession, and that includes the law. But research is thin. A new study is listening to UK autistic legal professionals. If you can help us with an online interview, get in touch at qtnzhfr@ucl.ac.uk Not you? A share would help us reach others 🙂

Folk that have left the hellscape that is X - did you delete your old Twitter handles or leave them dormant? I’m not posting on there anymore and have deleted the app, but should I delete my account as well? Worried people might be expecting a response from me over there?

My three year old gave me a little bird to come to NAPLIC with me - here it is in front of NAPLIC’s 40th birthday cake! Thanks for a terrific day. Brain very full. #naplic26

Great talk from Kate Starr about using creative methods to explore school experiences of teens with DLD: their experience is “covert survival”, involving being hidden and hiding, in environments that are not always communication supporting classrooms, with a role for connection #naplic26

Really interesting to hear from Catherine Pape on the delivery plan of the Welsh government for SLC. Includes raising public awareness of SLC, improving the identification of SLCN, evidence based interventions, upskilling professionals, and embedding SLC in Welsh government policies! Phew! #naplic26

Marr and Nicole from Moorhouse talking about oracy strategies now. Oracy is now in Ofsted framework. Should be considered alongside reading, writing and arithmetic. There is a national momentum to prioritise oracy in schools, across subjects (not just English!) #naplic26

Too busy taking a million notes during Frankie Boyle’s incredible talk to post - I’ll have to take time later to pull out her amazing insights or I won’t do them justice! But here is a shot of an excerpt of her writing age 13, captured by her teacher who found it written on her board #naplic26

Amazing to hear about Finlay’s aunt who was an English teacher as was so determined to be able to support him and other students with DLD that she pursued further specialist study and became an ambassador for @radld.bsky.social #naplic26

What a message to end on

Some beautiful perspectives being shared of friends of one our speakers who is a young person with DLD. Friends have shared how while their friend with DLD was hard to understand at first, they have developed deep relationships #naplic26

Blowing the dust off my BlueSky account to bring some content from #naplic26 ! Looking forward to a day all about Developmental Language Disorder #devlangdis

The CARE at the University of Strathclyde are looking for participants for a study on autistic experiences in faith-based and humanist communities. Complete the survey here: forms.office.com/Pages/Respon... That this study is not being conducted by the Centre for Autism and Theology.

Not to sound like an old person, but it’s very noticeable coming back from 9 months mat leave that literally every program now has an AI assistant that the company are painfully desperate for you to use…

Made it one week before baby was struck down with flu. So today’s work is coming from my kitchen counter while the snotty baby sleeps in a carrier.
