It's not very often that all three of is 'Language for Behaviour and Emotions' authors get together, so great to catch up with Melanie Cross and @lang4think.bsky.social at #NAPLIC25 recently.

The end of a very busy month! The boys enjoyed a trip to the science museum, the little one tried his birthday art set and I had the pleasure of sharing @1hannahharvey.bsky.social’s brilliant project alongside the steering group at #naplic25. Thank you @naplic.bsky.social committee. #dld #devlangdis

A series of 4 infographics developed using materials from the 'Better Communication Research Programme' inc. 'Communication Supporting Classrooms (CSC) tool' (Dockrell et al., 2012). https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/better-communication-research-programme The 3 parts of a Communication Supportive Environment Help children & young people's Speech, Language and Communication grow through the communicative environment your setting provides. Take a look at this collection of four infographics for some of the key features of each part. 1/4 Communication Supporting Environments benefit ALL pupils! Language Learning Opportunities Plan daily activities across the curriculum that support the development of language and communication. Language Learning Environments The way the physical environment is set up and managed can help or hinder language and communication. Language Learning Interactions The way that adults in your setting communicate with pupils makes a huge difference. With effective strategies consistently in place, pupils will understand more, follow instructions better and answer questions more successfully. created by Kate Starr KateStarrSLCN@gmail.com

Agreed! How brave are people feeling after our amazing and uplifting day at #NAPLIC25?! Are we up for raising concerns with service leaders?! The examples shared by @1hannahharvey.bsky.social and team are pretty compelling and speak for themselves. Leaders DO welcome insight into impact! 🤝

Following yesterday's #NAPLIC25 conference we noticed lots of new people on BlueSky. This DLD starter pack will link you up with lots of top #DevLangDis people.
Welcome!

If you have a spare moment (and you do because you're on BlueSky now 😊), I recommend searching #NAPLIC25 and catching up on all of the DLD related posts from yesterday's conference. Lived experience, research and practitioner presentations. It was a magical mix. #DevLangDis

Perfect! 👌 We need similar for Developmental Language Disorder - it’s neurodevelopmental and affects 7.6% of children. At #NAPLIC25 we heard @1hannahharvey.bsky.social’s research on parent perspectives. No.1 priority for parents: to understand - What is #DevLangDis?

I shall leave this here as the final post for the day - never a truer word.

Tanaya Brady is a very powerful speaker sharing her lived experience, spreading the word about DLD and helping others to understand it’s impacts and what they can do to support adults and children living with DLD.

Clear message today from @amandafiner.bsky.social - chn & YP need more TIME to process and express their views & we need to really listen. The questions make me think of the phrase “every interaction is an intervention” - can’t underestimate the power of listening and talking #DevLangDis #NAPLIC25

If you are interested in Developmental Language Disorder or want to find out more about it search #NAPLIC25. There's loads of interesting posts from today's conference. #DevLangDis @naplic.bsky.social

The diagnostic conversation with families needs to be handled with care when diagnosing DLD. @1hannahharvey.bsky.social's research revealed some 'varied' family experiences.
Check out these slides. #DevLangDis #NAPLIC25

Amazing day at #NAPLIC25
The speakers were all fantastic, lots of learning to take away!

Well, thank to #NAPLIC25 it would appear I’m now on Bluesky!

Great day hearing from amazing people in the #DevLangDis community. Lots to think about!

If you have a spare 10mins on the train home from #naplic25, I’d love your input to my survey on vocab intervention #DevLangDis

Such an interesting day at #Naplic25 with reflections for practice with my own caseload as well as next steps for our service #DevLangDis

Busy day for Bibiana and Sarah joined by Kent colleagues Hester and Elizabeth at #naplic25 Lots of useful conversations and resources shared! And we’ve launched our @balancedsystem.bsky.social account!! Thank you @naplic.bsky.social

Thanks to amazing speakers Tanaya and Abraz for stopping by the #balancedsystem stand. We often talk about the ‘so what?’ of what we are trying to do with whole system change and hearing the from experts through lived experience provides a powerful reminder #naplic25

#oracy is learning through talk, listening and communication and learning to talk, listen and communicate. #NAPLIC25

And with photo!
#Oracy has been around since the 1960s.
Agreed definition: oracy is articulating ideas, developing understanding and engaging with others through speaking, listening and communication
