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. radld.org/about/dld/dl... #DLDday #DevLangDis

!!!!!!!!! DO I GO TO BROAD STREET NOW?

If your job has an “appreciation” day or week, that’s a sign it’s underpaid (and under-valued). PAY! TEACHERS! MORE! (and also stop the other BS)

Parents of children w/DLD have unique needs. But support groups have not been adapted for use with this population. LSHSS study explored the needs of these parents & got their perspectives on participating in such a support group. @mauraofallon.bsky.social @sigperspectives.bsky.social #DLD #LSHSS

Excited to share my first published *qualitative* paper! Super proud to have this out there, and so grateful to the parents who shared their stories with us. And big thanks to my coauthors, a true team effort! @telllab.bsky.social p.s. Email or DM for a copy! 🫶🏻 #bskyspeechies #DevLangDis

SOS! Anyone on here who's used #MAXQDA for #mixedmethods or #qualitativeresearch: what are your tips/tricks or resources for merging quant data with transcripts that have been coded qualitatively?

These are training grants. 🚨 The Trump administration has launched a war on students and young people studying science. It’s a common thread. Trump is killing student fellowship grants at NIH and NSF, and is killing the NIH and CDC in-house fellows programs.

Wins are scarce right now, but last night I learned (via my sorority group text) that a girl from college who was mostly liked but who I NEVER TRUSTED was on TV introducing the cabinet at the prsidential address. To quote the challengers T-shirt, I TOLD YA 💅🏻

If you’re a Philly area scientist (or other professional threatened by federal cuts) reach out to me if you’d like to write an op-ed for @phillymag.com about the impact: bpearson at phillymag dot com

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. www.science.org/content/blog...

“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. www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...

As part of the TICLD programme of research we aim to develop a taxonomy to precisely and comprehensively specify the active ingredients of oral language SLT interventions for children with or at risk for (D)LD. Please click on the link below to complete our survey ucc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
