RADLD-Raising Awareness for Developmental Language Disorder
29 days ago
You can't see DLD, so how do you spot it in the classroom? DLD can look like ADHD, autism or dyslexia, but DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) is about spoken language. The core difficulties are with understanding and using words and sentences.

Midnight, June 7 is the deadline to comment on the revised Schedule F, Trump's plan to politicize the civil servants by converting them into at-will appointees that can be fired for the mildest pushback against illegal actions. It's easy - here is how:

This article--on the systematic dismantling of the NIH, NSF, and CDC--is a must-read not only for researchers and clinicians but for anyone who has ever gotten a vaccine, taken medication, read the results of a research study, or gotten tested for Covid, flu, or STIs.

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house." Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded.
