I thought you were joking! Thank you for thinking of us.
Yes, we are professionals, but we are employed in LA, NHS and independent providers. So not the capacity.
There are others in our sector who are probably better equipped

Err, no. We're volunteers, so we could take a few pennies of that and make it go along way though 😉

Happy Tuesday E-DLD followers! Today we want to showcase our YouTube channel!

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.

New guidance on specialist resourced provision in mainstream schools transforms outcomes for pupils with speech and language challenges

Consideration also needs to be given to the skills of the staff involved and focus of the provision. There is a real risk that they don't achieve their optimal outcome. That's why with @speechandlanguk.bsky.social & @afasic.bsky.social we produced this report
speechandlanguage.org.uk/about-us/new...

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.
