Teamwork across professions and agencies is crucial for supporting children with DLD (Developmental Language Disorder). Teachers, Speech and Language Therapists, families are crucial during the school phase. #DLDday #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social @shaunziegenfusz.bsky.social

Reading comprehension intervention for DLD. Three groups: text comprehension, oral language and both. All had an impact.
One year later oral language group died the biggest effect.
Focus on oral language to improve reading!

Strategies for reading in secondary.
Reading for enjoyment.
Need to keep motivation for decoding, think of games as well as morphology.
And for those with language needs, focus on language such as narrative and vocabulary.

Fantastic. This is just what we need.
Could you also do one on language difficulties? Especially Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) which affects 7% of children (2 in every classroom).
Low awareness means that people with DLD have to constantly explain what DLD is. #DLDday is on 17th Oct
