Friendly reminder: Just because something may be valuable as an assessment doesn’t mean it should be taught… shanahanonliteracy.com/blog/what-does… Oldie but goodie from @ReadingShanahan… and still on par with his T Swift references 🤪

@NatalieMunro3 I’m so sorry to hear this, Nat. I know she was very special to you (as I’m sure you were to her) 💗

My grandmother died last month. There are many, many things I miss (her ❤️ & warmth) but I miss simple things like listening to an older person, their stories, their humour. Suddenly the 🌎 seems smaller. She didn’t make 102, (97 though) but she would have laughed at this pic 👇

@shaunziegenfusz You can do it Shaun! So close!

I have been pretty quiet on social media over the past 6 months, while I've focussed on PhD thesis writing. However, it has been totally worth it as I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Looking forward to being a more social & energetic version of myself!

@tricmc @adamliaw Delicious 😊

A very helpful talk about #DevLangDis and the #NDIS in a time of uncertainty, regulatory/system changes, & high client (& provider!) stress, including re access & early support pathways for participants w/ #dld. Thanks to @shaunziegenfusz Erin West, and the DLD Project Team. 🙏

Super proud of PhD candidate and #slpeep @Nichola_SP & her new paper on social media use by young people with language disorders: a scoping review. Congrats! 🎈🎉 Article link and infographic ⬇️ ⬇️ #OpenAccess @JuliaStarling4 @DrMelKeep @lyn_tieu

Time to develop a network for those interested in #VR & #Health in this timely article led by @SophieBrassel: "Users that posted tweets related to “VR in health care (2124/26,001, 8.17%) did not form an interconnected VR network". @ABICommLab @syd_health prod2.jmir.org/2024/1/e45168

Delighted to be joining Southern Cross University as Professor of Speech Pathology with my wonderful colleague Associate Professor @AndySmidt. This week & next is about recognizing, celebrating the contributions we made at @usyd_health. Excited to start new adventures mid Feb! 😎

Such a great day writing, eating and talking!

I’d like to give @CattsHugh a standing ovation for saying in his #ASHA23 session saying we NEED to be checking kids for DLD and piggyback off the back of the dyslexia/reading movement

Lyn expertly breaks down some of the issues associated with the speech to print phonics movement in helping children learn to read. Well worth reading.
