Developmental Language Awareness Day 2019 is almost here! Last year our students made this video about living with #DevLangDis and how it affects their lives #DLDYouAndMe youtu.be/CzZEHpMJ_JE

Nearly 100,000 pupils left school last year with fewer than 5 GCSE 'passes', says children's commisioner. Do we need qualifications which recognise what such pupils can do, rather than what they cannot?

@SusanEbbels @Bry_Holl More progress made on words targeted through additional 1:1 teaching than those taught on course alone. SLTs have an important role in supporting young people with #devlangdis with their vocational studies

Getting lots of fantastic ideas from @SusanEbbels and @Bry_Holl on teaching course specific vocabulary- will be using these activities in the vocab therapy I'm currently running! #RCSLT2019

Closing comments by @Bry_Holl - reminder that #devlangdis is a lifelong disorder and we should continue to provide support & services for this age-group. This study adds to the evidence that #SLT intervention for post-16 can be effective #RCSLT2019

Great results. @Bry_Holl explaining that vocabulary knowledge does improve from just classroom exposure (control words), but 1x30-min weekly 1:1 #SLT Ix made sig difference for all students. Again highlighting need for & benefit of ongoing clinical support for this age #RCSLT2019

This video helps raise awareness of speech and language difficulties for teenagers. Give it a share! m.youtube.com/watch?v=CzZEHp…

So proud to share this video of our students discussing their experiences of #DLD as teenagers. Please watch and share with as many people as you can! @laurenbanni @Campbell_Chats @HLeniston #language #RADLD #tagateacher
