Please check out the Top 10 Research Priority Questions for #DevLangDis. Newly launched after extensive consultations involving people with DLD, families and professionals. www.rcslt.org/news/top-que...
New paper for #SLPeeps, which suggests that sentence repetition, nonword repetition, a parental questionnaire, and a task measuring semantic and morphosyntactic comprehension contribute the most to identifying DLD in bilingual children. #DevLangDis

The discussion ventured into imagining the benefits on child development in a world where SLTs taught in nurseries.
Noticing their patterns on an individual level and being able to tailor the input - making the most of this period of 'golden age'. π¦β¨
Joined @naplic.bsky.social's journal club yesterday hosted with @cltt.bsky.social π A thought-provoking discussion on #DevLangDis intervention!
The speakers convinced me: nursery teaching should be done by SLTs. Observations, facilitation, elicitation. - thoughts? π§ #BSkySpeechies
Our City SLT Soc got Academic Society of the Year π Well done team - it wasn't easy starting a society from the ground up! β¨ #BSkySpeechies

Dysphagia Dining Experience with our City St George's SLT Soc π²β¨ Tasted IDDSI Levels 4 (purΓ©ed) and 5 meals from Wiltshire Farm Foods!
...and accidentally turned this into a mini-lecture (sorry first-years!). Our Comms Officer Millie nailed the explanations though! β€οΈ #RCSLT #SwallowingAwareness
Love that! What's your current project~ β‘
A doll with a graduation cap (it's magnetic and it comes off!) and LSE graduation gown. A gift for a good friend.
Too cute π§Άβ¨ What got me started:
I went from... *embroidery* -> *crochet*
it's me wanting to create something 'out of thin-air' (instead of embellishing things). Then... I... just wanna make everything! π
What kept me going: just as singing = vocal stim, crocheting = βπ» occupied & π§ concentrates π

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