Please read and share this Top 10 list of DLD Questions, co-produced with an amazing group of contributors. These priorities can be used to shape research and funding applications to ensure that they reflect the needs and concerns of people living with DLD.

In any capacity really, I'd like to develop my research skills and DLD is my passion so just wondered if there was anything I could get involved with.

Lots of people do not know about DLD and so over the next few weeks, we are sharing some basic facts that are evidence-based. DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) is not something children can grow out of, but it does not mean they cannot thrive...#devlangdis #DLDday

Does anyone know if there is any research into age related development of understanding of academic command verbs i.e. explain, compare, discuss, define etc?

Keen to learn more about behaviour change models and applying these to practice in SLT. (So I can learn more about maximising the impact of training). Can anyone share any experience or action research of this? Thank you!

Can anyone point me in the direction of recent/key research into the impact of trauma and adversity on language development and/or specific research into looked after children (and language skills). Thank you 🀞

I'm one of many! Lots of excellent work going on but still lots to do... πŸ’ͺ

I work in a Borough where there's been lots of work by amazing teams (SALT and local authority) and I recognise much more awareness in the schools compared to previous places I've worked

I just think generally there is much more awareness of SLCN and the impact on learning and behaviour. I know teachers are recognising DLD traits more readily and it's becoming more widely known. I'm asked for training much more than say 2 years ago. I also wonder if it depends on location

10.01.2025 18:21 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

I think lots of hard work is paying off. There is much more awareness in my experience of underlying SLCN in children and young people with SEMH/ Behavioural Needs and also of DLD. Still more to do but I really think progress is being made! 🀞

Does anyone have any evidence, research or personal experience of using Cued Articulation alongside whole class phonics teaching? Looking to support schools' universal provision but would like any info about efficacy. Thank you!

People with DLD, researchers & practitioners, let's make 2025 a big year for Developmental Language Disorder!
We all have a role to play.
Post, share, like and comment so we can share knowledge, build networks and raise awareness. #DevLangDis
