Chapter on Speech Sound Disorders by network members @drjoannecleland.bsky.social and @drhelenslt.bsky.social . Great intro for #SLP students

Fantastic PhD Opportunity for SLTs and related professions interested in the development of speech sounds from infancy through early childhood

Good news- more #SSD research happening in the UK. This project will look at the feasibility of collecting a core outcomes set from children with speech sound disorders in Wales.

We are recruiting!! Join #MISLToe_SSD and be part of the new study in Wales. This is an exciting project which is now in phase 2 with phase 3 in the planning stages. If you know about speech sound disorder and know about research, please apply. jobs.cardiffmet.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx...

Are you leading research into active ingredients of interventions (approaches, targets, intensity) for children with speech and language needs? @cristinamckean and @paulinefrizelle are editing a special collection for @ijlcd. Please contact [email protected] if interested by 16th June.

New post for an SLT/SLP Research Associate/Assistant to work on an @edldproject.bsky.social project to validate a screening tool to identify #DevLangDis in adults! Please RT widely! @suze-freogirl.bsky.social @emilymayjackson.bsky.social @profnikkibotting.bsky.social www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy...
