EMERALD Lab

It's #DLDday! Researchers at @YorkPsychology @YorkEMERALDLab @sunray_york have been busy sharing their research on different aspects of DLD and wellbeing 📹. See below 🧵 for introductions to #DLD, #literacy, #camouflaging and #emotion.

Today is #DLDday! The day we raise awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). RADLD Chair, Stephen Parsons @WordAware urges everyone to get involved. Keep sharing, creating and interacting with #DLDay posts. Together we are 'speaking up for DLD'

The baker!

Happy DLD Awareness Day from everyone at the EMERALD lab! Cakes are shifting as we raise money for @SpeechAndLangUK this year.

Today, we're speaking up for Developmental Language Disorder/Difficulties (DLD) by sharing new data relating to children & young people accessing speech & language therapy #DLDday @nick_hewer @RADLDcam @RCSLTResearch @RCSLTNI @rcsltscot @RCSLTWales

It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek so it's worth highlighting the free sample that is available for 'Language for Behaviour and Emotions,' one of the few resources targeting the language skills of young people with #SEMH routledge.com/go/language-fo…

@LauraChambers14 Thanks!

As it's #mentalhealthawarenessweek here is a reminder of the @RADLDcam by @lilacCourt about Developmental Language Disorder and mental health. #DevLangDis youtu.be/-orJLnCgGJw?si…

We are developing a new parent report measure of camouflaging for Developmental Language Disorder! We need families of *both* children with and without DLD to take part. All details available to view here: york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3J…

If you are a parent/caregiver of a child aged 6-17 years old, we're looking for families to take in an online study about emotion, language and sleep! Please share/get in touch with questions :)

The 2024 EMERALD Lab newsletter is out! You can download it from our lab's website. Thanks everyone who supported us this year! sites.google.com/york.ac.uk/yor…

Siouxsie is an incredibly talented young person with DLD who has plastered her school with her drawings reflecting her experiences of DLD for #DLDDay. Young people with DLD like Siouxsie deserve support and recognition so they can thrive!
