This exercise really highlighted that DLD interventions must be adapted for language-specific errors. I hope my attempted adaptations of @shapecoding.com for Portuguese are helpful for the 300 Brazilian SLTs who will attend Thursday's course & will help the children with DLD that they work with.

I'd be interested to hear how / whether others are using this. It is designed to help clinicians identify grammatical targets for children with language disorders and is freely downloadable.

Been using this target identification spreadsheet lots recently for an on-going project
shapecoding.com/resources/gr...

This revealed a few bugs in some of the cells. So, please download again if you want a (hopefully) bug-free version.

Fyi, comprehension cutoff also changed from 85% to 80%.

Do join us for our Part 2 and/or Practical Applications courses to either explore more complex structures (Part 2), or how to use Part 1 coding in practical activities including in the classroom (Pratical Applications). Courses timed to suit those in the UK, or west of UK (eg US or Canada).
