Once again a study showing the importance of #EarlyYears. This time on maths.

New meta-analysis: "Early numeracy does not merely serve as a steppingstone with temporary effects on foundational mathematics; instead, it likely triggers a snowballing effect, cumulatively influencing mathematics development over time" psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

While Developmental Language Disorder (#DLD) has been studied in children, there's little research on its effect on quality of life in adolescents and young adults. The latest article from #ASHASIG1 sheds some light on this on.asha.org/3VMj73w #SLPeeps

This quote from Pamela Snow is one of my favourites from this year. Such a powerful statement. Children's instructional time is invaluable, and we have an ethical duty to ensure it's used effectively and responsibly.

Thank you Caroline for sharing these tips - very helpful for me as as a bsky newbie. I particularly appreciated tip 1.

Basic Bluesky tips for 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES. I have only been here since August 19, 2024, so there’s lots I don't know. It would be great if you quote posted this with your own hot tips!
Bluesky tips for #sbkySPEECHIES 1. If you’ve moved from the other place, don’t delete your account there. Even if you think you’re a nobody, someone (mischievous or malicious) may hijack your ID (use your @handle) and post awful things in your name. 2. Top tip from @irvinewelsh.bsky.social BEFORE you start following people, add a profile picture and banner picture and fill out your bio. Then, “tweet” (i.e., post) 5-to-10 posts so people you know will recognise you. 3. Add a hashtag or two to your bio, maybe 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES . 4. Look for your tribe, beginning with “starter packs”. Search speech here https://blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs/ 5. Alt text. In ⚙️Settings, go to Accessibility. ✔︎ Require alt text before posting. 6. Threads. In ⚙️ Settings go to Thread Preferences. ✔︎ Show replies in threaded view. 7. If you ❤️like a re-post it won’t show up in notifications. You’ll experience more acknowledgement and action if you quote-post or post. 8. Don’t feed the 👹trolls by replying-to or re-posting their stuff. Block. Leave them to stew in their own toxic juice. 9. Tell your TweepXs where you are! 10. My top tip. Interact! Start and/or continue conversations. Don’t just like ❤️…though that’s nice… comment on, react to, and augment others’ posts. I have only been here since August 19, 2024, so there’s lots I don't know. It would be great if you quote posted this with your own hot tips!
