💭 Planning an economic evaluation for a #stroke or #aphasia study?

📊 We compared the EQ-5D-3L & SAQOL-39g

⚠️ We found use of the EQ-5D-3L in economic evaluations including people with aphasia requires caution.

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

A major danger of LLMs is that humans are SO predisposed to attribute knowledge to any entity that uses natural language fluently. We cannot imagine that a machine that outputs natural-seeming speech/text doesn't have cognition. Brilliantly articulated by @emilymbender.bsky.social et al. (2021).

We are doing a survey to understand why other professionals do/don't refer people with Primary Progressive Aphasia for speech-language support

We want Drs, nurses, psychologists, social workers, OTs, PTs & any other profession.

The survey can be accessed here: qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_...
