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'. πŸ¦‹βœ¨

Joined @naplic.bsky.social's journal club yesterday hosted with @cltt.bsky.social πŸ’­ A thought-provoking discussion on #DevLangDis intervention!

The speakers convinced me: nursery teaching should be done by SLTs. Observations, facilitation, elicitation. - thoughts? 🧐 #BSkySpeechies

A doll with a graduation cap (it's magnetic and it comes off!) and LSE graduation gown. A gift for a good friend.

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 🧢✨ 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! πŸ™ˆ

What kept me going: just as singing = vocal stim, crocheting = βœ‹πŸ» occupied & 🧠 concentrates πŸ˜‚

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

Neurotribes: The New Diversity Steve Silberman’s book, "Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity," is changing the way we think about cognitive differences.

"Autism has always been part of the human community. The reason we don’t think so is because autistic people were kept behind the walls of institutions for most of the 20th century, or they got no diagnosis at all." Per @stevesilberman.bsky.social
