Thank Susie Dent!

'Cacklefarts' are eggs and 'bags of mystery' are sausages. Both are rather evocative
I had the great pleasure of listening to @susiedentwords.bsky.social today. So many fun facts about words, but a stand out for me was 'cacklefarts and bags of mystery.' Any guesses what the words refer to?
new paper alert! 📣 Do adolescents with DLD make more risky decisions? New paper looking at this longitudinally in adolescents at risk of #DevLangDis at age 11, 14 and 17. Work conducted with Lok Fung Jason Chan! Please RT! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Study participation advert: "What we want: how can Speech & Language Therapy best meet the needs of autistic children? We are looking for autistic children & young people (9 - 17 years 11 months old) to take part in an adapted interview about their priorities and preferences in Speech & Language Therapy. We hope our findings will support the development of services in this area. In the first part of this study, we are looking for children & young people who are verbally-able, so likely in mainstream schools accessing a mainstream curriculum. A formal autism diagnosis is important and should follow national clinical guidance on best practice. Please get in touch to ask about eligibility or find out more: NDSpeech-LanguageTherapy@manchester.ac.uk. Our team includes experienced & DBS checked autistic researchers & Speech & Language Therapists. The interviews will be adapted to meet individual needs. If your child has more significant language support needs, we will be recruiting these children to a related but different study. Please do ask for details.” The study is a collaboration between the University of Manchester, University of Sheffield and the NHS Manchester University foundation trust. The study is funder by the UK National Institute for Health and Care Research.
Happy Sunday E-DLD followers! Today we have an exciting research opportunity to advertise.

3-year-olds with & without #DLD use linguistic cues to predict conversational structure in real time: But children w/ DLD may be slower in their predictions, which could contribute to turn-taking difficulties often seen in these children. https://on.asha.org/4s7yVM9

We've been a bit late to the party but researchers are seeking adults with Developmental Language Disorder, dyslexia and autism. As well as those without a neurodevelopmental diagnosis. Details below.
#DevLangDis
We need more research about DLD in bi/multilingual children. Maryam Awawdeh is doing just that. Surveys for Speech and Language Therapists and families.
Please share and help to increase understanding of Developmental Language Disorder.
#DevLangDis
This was a fantastic event, and emphasised the power of bringing people together to talk through common issues, share knowledge as well as the literature.
We hope the outcome will be better practice with resources to support families at the point of DLD diagnosis.
#DevLangDis
Promises to be a great opportunity to develop practice in this crucial area.
REALLY looking forward to this afternoon's DLD diagnostic network about how we talk with families about their child's Developmental Language Disorder diagnosis. #DevLangDis

I'd always had good service with Trailfinders but on seeing their continued funding of GB News hate, I wrote to them. After their derisory response I went into a branch and told them I was taking my business elsewhere. Never using them again.
This is an excellent department with lots of great language and #DevLangDis researchers! Great opportunity!
