Hope it's a great discussion and sorry not to be there in person!

Quality of Life query for all you SLT/Ps out there. Do any of you use the Paediatric Speech and Language QoL scale (Markham, van Laar & Dean, 2012). If so please tell me where to find it. Thank you!

Wow, so much exciting #bskyspeechies activity since I joined a few days ago! Finding it hard to keep up, so please don't take it personally if I haven't followed back yet!

My son only now seems to be being taught about syllables in Yr2, is this the norm? Clinically, I encountered so many KS2 children who had poor syllable awareness, but it didn't really seem to be on the radar for school

Phonological awareness is hugely important for speech, vocabulary, reading and spelling. All children should have robust syllable and phoneme level skills before they start phonics learning. Free assessment, intervention, stimulus pictures here research.ncl.ac.uk/phonological...

Great idea to boost hashtag #DevLangDis
