This week, Niamh and Abi have been learning and sharing at the #IARC2026 International Aphasia Rehabilitation Conference in Athens, Greece. Here they are presenting posters about accessibility of #DataVis for people with a language disabilities. Posters in comments. #Aphasia ##DevLangDis

Delighted to be at #NDAS2026 in beautiful #Durham - looking forward to a great day of talks! @debbieriby.bsky.social

Can we have a conversation about ‘narrative cvs’? I’ll start with ‘WHY?!’. A bullet point #cv is so much easier to read, process and write. #Academics are currently spending hundreds of hours attempting to somehow craft their many experiences into some sort of prose with a very limited word count.

Last plug for #FREE online event happening at 3pm #today. I will be talking about what it means to #takepart in #research e-dld.ticketbud.com

Am I getting old or was #Eurovision mostly very shouty and not easy to listen to this year? Favourite exceptions Belgium, Norway, Italy, Austria, Malta. #Eurovision2026

30% of students with SEND have speech, language and communication needs. It's the most common need. It doesn't get anything like the profile that it should. After all these years of working in this sector that still flummoxes me.

Speech and Language UK@speechandlanguk.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Data from the Department for Education shows that 30% of children with SEND have speech and language challenges. Learn more about why it's so important that these children are put at the heart of SEND reform: https://bit.ly/47CfJhT
