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

Study addresses the challenge of identifying #DLD in bilingual children. This language assessment protocol successfully combines time efficiency w/ high accuracy to diagnose DLD; it's a useful, feasible protocol for SLPs. pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/...

Such an honour to meet Dr Angel Chan and Prof. Shula Chiat today! 3 hours of inspiring conversation (and me trying not to be too starstruck) 🤫

Grateful to Prof. Kamila Polišenská for giving me the chance to dive into Cantonese research so early in my career!

Shnyia, it’s been a joy working with you. We smashed it ✨

Joined @naplic.bsky.social's journal club yesterday hosted with @cltt.bsky.social 💭 A thought-provoking discussion on #DevLangDis intervention!

The speakers convinced me: nursery teaching should be done by SLTs. Observations, facilitation, elicitation. - thoughts? 🧐 #BSkySpeechies

If the neurodivergence taskforce wants to make schools better for neurodivergent children, why aren’t the 1 million children with Developmental Language Disorder part of the conversation?😣

This is totally unacceptable!

Don't you agree, Department for Education? #TheForgottenMillion
