the curriculum and assessment review is 197 pages long and does not make a single reference to multilingualism. in England's schools, ~20% of children (~2 million children) are multilingual. this is just another example of how multilingual identities and knowledges get erased in policy and practice.

A lovely write up about our bonnie Dundee aphasia conference earlier this year. #BASConf2025 www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/news-and-eve... @basaphasia.bsky.social @citystgeorgeslcs.bsky.social @citystgeorges.bsky.social @stephwilsoncity.bsky.social @niamhdevane.bsky.social @rtslt.bsky.social

We’re putting together our latest newsletter. 📧 [email protected] by 7th November with your aphasia related news

New @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social paper #SLPeeps on conducting research case studies. Will likely interest #ClinAcSLTs (@clinacslt.bsky.social) and #BskySpeechies 🦋

Excited to share our latest article! We examined #SLP2b student experiences of a #StudyAbroad class focused on #dementia inclusive programs & the role of #SLPeeps in #dementia care. interpretive #phenomenological analysis #inclusion #cog-comm doi.org/10.1044/2025... w/ @learrington.bsky.social

Our M-MAT Tele study is offering 30 hours of aphasia therapy for people with aphasia following a stroke. It’s delivered over telehealth and available anywhere in Australia. For information see - aphasiacre.wpcomstaging.com/2025/09/24/m...

“The report’s main point is surprisingly simple: people living with #dementia can still set goals, learn strategies, and adapt their lives with the right support … #rehabilitation is about focusing on what a person can still do and helping them do it for as long as possible.” #slpeeps #cog-comm

On #FTDAwarenessWeek, we’re asking the world to learn about frontotemporal dementia, the most common form of dementia for those under 60. #dementia #ftd #frontotemporaldegeneration

What a grand day at the #RCSLT Scotland day. Delighted to be a part of this inspiring profession.  @sarahheatley.bsky.social & I shared the work we've been doing with collaborators in Dundee to create a communication accessible city. Hooray for the excellent NHS Tayside adult acquired SLT service.

So honored to contribute to this important work and push forward #discourse research for underrepresented aphasia populations! Congratulations to all my co-authors and the incredible ASAL team! Our paper is available open access: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This set of co-produced priority research questions - should help people to target their applications for funding. It took me 4 years to gain funding! Hopefully a cohesive evidence base, fit to support people with #DevLangDis across the lifespan, can now be built 👏

Please check out the Top 10 Research Priority Questions for #DevLangDis. Newly launched after extensive consultations involving people with DLD, families and professionals. www.rcslt.org/news/top-que...

People with #PCA, #PPA and #bvFTD get a life-changing diagnosis but little evidence-based tailored information. The @uclbrainscience.bsky.social -led BELIDE trial, tests an online post-diagnostic educational programme co-designed with families to fill this gap💻👉: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/9...

💭 Planning an economic evaluation for a #stroke or #aphasia study? 📊 We compared the EQ-5D-3L & SAQOL-39g ⚠️ We found use of the EQ-5D-3L in economic evaluations including people with aphasia requires caution. 📖 Why? Read the paper here: link.springer.com/10.1007/s111...

New paper for #SLPeeps, which suggests that sentence repetition, nonword repetition, a parental questionnaire, and a task measuring semantic and morphosyntactic comprehension contribute the most to identifying DLD in bilingual children. #DevLangDis

I’d love to hear from others working in multilingual and multicultural contexts. What’s helped you support identity and connection when words are limited? #speechandlanguagetherapy #aphasia #multilingualism #communicationaccess #culturalidentity #neurorehab #SLT #RCSLT #stroke

Fantastic working with adults with DLD network yesterday. 35 professionals discussing existing assessment tools and gaps. Working together to advance practice. Thank you to Angharad Agg for sharing your knowledge. #DevLangDis

I am also pleased to share the second study of my PhD exploring language and cognition in adults with and without DLD, with Prof. Ewa Dabrowska and Dr @mllompart.bksy.social - now published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research: #DevLangDis link.growkudos.com/1eem1qwc5q8

A major danger of LLMs is that humans are SO predisposed to attribute knowledge to any entity that uses natural language fluently. We cannot imagine that a machine that outputs natural-seeming speech/text doesn't have cognition. Brilliantly articulated by @emilymbender.bsky.social et al. (2021).

We are doing a survey to understand why other professionals do/don't refer people with Primary Progressive Aphasia for speech-language support We want Drs, nurses, psychologists, social workers, OTs, PTs & any other profession. The survey can be accessed here: qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_...
