@SusanEbbels & team are at it again with this great paper examining dose in explicit morphosyntactic intervention (via shape coding). Cumulative teaching episodes per target was key. Session scheduling can be flexible. Thanks! pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/20…

Such a lovely international group of Speech & Language Therapists / Pathologists in the Part 2 course today (from UK, Australia, US, Germany & Switzerland). Thanks so much to those attendees for whom the hours were definitely not normal work hours!

Just released another 4 (the adjective phrase section), now total of 48 targets covered. The rest will have to wait until after the holiday. Have a lovely Christmas everyone

Access to our Part 1 course now includes access to detailed intervention steps for 44 grammatical targets, with more to follow! shapecoding.com/intervention-s… #ShapeCoding #InterventionSteps

Our @ShapeCoding system part 2 course, now booking for January, is suitable for those who are confident with the material in part 1 and wish to extend their knowledge for more complex language. bit.ly/3MNw20F #courses

Nothing published that I know of, but does anyone know of any research or other evidence?

The biggest gift you can give to help someone with DLD is time, according to Specialist Teacher Sue Marr, who appeared on Ridge Radio as a guest on Andrea Oxlade’s Saturday Brunch Show last weekend to talk all about DLD. bit.ly/491pOUj #DevLangDis #DLDday

I love the last example: "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana". I might use that as an example to show how the #ShapeCoding system can show sentence ambiguities. twitter.com/margaretmckeow…
