Welcome @me-boyo.bsky.social !

#LaLYP

Language & Literacy in Young People | Research, Tools & More At #LaLYP, we're striving to make language & literacy research more accessible to clinicians, consumers, & the community. Access our free tools & info here.

A bit about me. Interests broadly in youth #MentalHealth. Current work: intersections of #language and #reading difficulties and mental health (with the #LALYP team, lalyp.com.au), language and #literacy related #accessibility of mental health programs, and links between #emotion and self-injury.

thank you, we try to put up open access or 'green copies' of our papers (though it can be hard to keep up at times!!) and make all our programmes/assessments freely downloadable to support clinciians and educators everywhere and ultimately help children and families
