#DLDday. Last night a band of physios and SLTs hit Douglas city to raise awareness of #devlangdis in the Isle of Man. Interact with this photo to see our lovely Tower of Refuge in the right hand corner,lit purple and yellow for the evening. Love our island and its people.

It's #DLDday. Thank you to Alan @keylldarree.bsky.social for putting up this wonderful display. The Isle of Man is playing their part in raising awareness of #devlangdis . This year I think the students have eaten all the snacks!!

I just found out that one of my books has first been pirated and then used by Meta to train its AI. No acknowledgement and no money came my way. This has to stop. The Society of Authors have organised this petition to the UK government. Please show your support. chng.it/FqvrjYKVvW

A DLD awareness event in March!! the Association of Registered SLP Cyprus organized a race to share the word with the public about Developmental Language Disorder last week. Their theme was DLD: Learn, Understand and Support. Let's gear up for DLD day #Devlangdis

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! go.bsky.app/FMV4dou

Here is my evidence-informed resource I shared at the #NAPLIC25 conference yesterday. Top tips to help settings support communication. Essential for pupils with #DevLangDis & beneficial to all 💜 Feel free to share with others ☺️

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

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

'Unless you've been through it, you don't really understand the power of the diagnosis.' @1hannahharvey.bsky.social at #NAPLIC25 #DevLangDis

It took permanent exclusion and PRU placement for Abraz to get a a diagnosis of #DevLangDis before needs could be met in education. Subsequently he achieved top results at college, has a degree in social work and is the most inspirational guy!! 🙏🌟 Recognising #SLCN can be life changing #NAPLIC25

Completely agree. “with developmental language disorder (DLD) face a 1.8 to 2.3-fold increased risk of poor mental health by adolescence compared with their peers.” And currently waiting time for a referral for a DLD assessment is around 10 months.

Inclusion in Practice is live! This is a sector-led initiative to gather practical examples of successful approaches to inclusion in mainstream education. We welcome submissions from all involved in delivering inclusive practice. Link to submit here: www.inclusioninpractice.org.uk 1/3

New research on intervention factors associated with efficacy in comprehension interventions. Authors @sirpatarvainen.bsky.social, @pfrizelleslt.bsky.social, Granroth-Wilding, H., Stolt, S., & Launonen, K. doi.org/10.1111/1460... To be read here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...

Out of 256 ASHA publications, 58% use the term Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) 2017-2024. I wonder what proportion the UK or Asia-Pacific #SLP journals have? My guess is the UK wins. An interesting comparison would be to compare the same time period before 2017.

I've joined Blue Sky to raise awareness about developmental language disorder (DLD) in adults. It so often gets left out of discussions about neurodivergence. I'll be posting more on this soon. #DevLangDis #RADLD #NAPLIC #AFASIC #inclusion #neurodiversity #neurodiversityatwork

Most young children play on apps alone. But could better design to promote interaction between children and adults also improve children's learning? You can find out more: check out my free monthly newsletter on LinkedIn, Early Years Evidence in Action www.linkedin.com/pulse/early-...

Been working with teens excluded from school. All have #SEND (most commonly ASD/ADHD/DLD) but were either diagnosed too late or not even assessed until after they were excluded. It’s heartbreaking ‘81% of children with behavioural disorders have significant language difficulties’
