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

Key messages from outgoing President Courtenay Norbury 1 we need to diagnose DLD. This builds awareness, research & services 2 language interventions give people with DLD more opportunities 3 use evidence based practice. And link what we do to what policy makers want to hear. #NAPLIC26

Love working in a service where leadership supports evidence based intensity and duration of intervention for severe SSD. 3 sessions per week with breaks based on clinical decision making not arbitrary service delivery models 🙌🏻

Looking for recommendations of children’s books about DLD? As much variety as possible please! #DLD #DevLangDis #SLCN

#DLDday is coming next week, so now is a good time to check out the Developmental Language Disorder starter pack. #DevLangDis go.bsky.app/FMV4dou

The first paper from Shengfu’s PhD! A scoping review on recast dosage for children with #DLD. With increased attention to how much we do of what we do, this is an important contribution @ashajournals.bsky.social

A very enthusiastic shape coder declared “I love maths!” when I got his folder out today 🌟 A big fan of @shapecoding.com

Dissertation submitted! Thank you so much to all the SLTs who shared my survey and participated!

Sharing again before I close the survey. Would be great if any more SLTs able to complete this 10 min survey. Thank you! #DevLangDis #DLD #SLCN #wespeechies #slpeeps

Thanks Kate for sharing! Was such a good way to present the communication environment to my local Education pedagogy team

Here is my evidence-informed resource I shared at the #NAPLIC25 conference yesterday. Top tips to help settings support communication. Essential for pupils with #DevLangDis & beneficial to all 💜 Feel free to share with others ☺️

If you have a spare 10mins on the train home from #naplic25, I’d love your input to my survey on vocab intervention #DevLangDis

Such an interesting day at #Naplic25 with reflections for practice with my own caseload as well as next steps for our service #DevLangDis

Really interesting to consider and also important to recognise the vulnerabilities this can present.

NAPLIC@naplic.bsky.social · last yr.

Most children with #DevLangDis saw friendship as a temporary play relationship. Children wanted friends but lots of variation in how hard it is to make friends. Many have a 'young' understanding of friendship, but did not see DLD as a barrier. #NAPLIC25

Incredible presentations by two very talented and tenacious young people, Tanaya and Abraz, on their lived experience of DLD 👏🏻 highlighting the importance of a diagnosis and understanding of needs #NAPLIC #DevLangDis #SLCN

#slpeeps does anyone have any recommendations for wordless picture books that can be used in language therapy please?

@radld.bsky.social Hi, can I just check if your website is down at the moment or if it’s an issue at my end please? Thanks!

Thanks to many people for sharing this! Would be fab if a few more people could fill it in, should only take 10-15mins. Thank you! #DevLangDis #DLD #SLCN #wespeechies #slpeeps

Does anyone know of any DLD CENs in the UK please? I found three on the RCSLT directory, but I wonder if there are others? Thanks! #DevLangDis

Lovely to catch up with current, past, and future SLTs at QMU resource library launch today. 1.5years of placement in a career is a target worth emulating!

We have only one response each from Finland, Sweden, and Austria, can you help us reach more countries? We are looking for academics or researchers who teach on #bskySPEECHIES #SLT #SLP degree courses to fill out this survey on #DevLangDis: ucc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Please share widely!

TICLD@ticld.bsky.social · 2y ago

As of today we only have two responses from non-English speaking countries. Please share the survey with your international colleagues so that we represent more than just the Anglophone countries. Survey: ucc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #DevLangDis #SLPeeps #bskySPEECHIES

Been using this target identification spreadsheet lots recently for an on-going project shapecoding.com/resources/gr... This revealed a few bugs in some of the cells. So, please download again if you want a (hopefully) bug-free version. Fyi, comprehension cutoff also changed from 85% to 80%.

First, Meta-analysis of #recasting from 2015 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... (The infographic includes newer work, but also dated). Recasting works for grammar targets and kids with #devlangdis ... but wow, it requires intentionality & a high dose. Makes it hard to incorporate into regular tx.

@amygaunt.bsky.social I was just given a copy of your book, looking forward to reading it!
