I would also recommend the move. Join us there for collaborative conversations #wespeechies #slpeeps #DevLangDis

Tomorrow is #DLDday. This year's theme is 'Speak Up for DLD'.⁠ As speech pathologists, we must diagnose #DLD when the criteria are met, regardless of our own views.⁠ 🧵 1/8

@MichaelRosenYes You may also like to listen to our podcast for #DLDday celebrating some of our amazing students with DLD contributing to this year's theme: 'Speak Up for DLD' x.com/MoorHouseSLCN/…

@MichaelRosenYes For discussion about the impact of DLD and broader Speech Language and Communication Needs in schools see x.com/jon_severs/sta…

BBC Radio 4 Word of Mouth Now on Thursdays at 3.30 Repeat on Sundays at 8.00 pm First episode in new series- how do babies learn how to speak? bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Have a listen to some of our amazing students speaking up for DLD (Developmental Language Disorder). They talk about how important it is that everyone knows about DLD. They also demonstrate how hidden it can be. Please share widely #DLDDay #DevLangDis #CouldItBeLanguage

@SusanEbbels @MichaelRosenYes These are the children I was alluding to when I answered a question @MichaelRosenYes put to teachers (at Colden Common Primary a few wks ago) about how to support children to analyse narrative. Children with DLD (& other commn challenges) need much more visual support.

@jon_severs For simple strategies teachers can employ in the classroom to help children with language difficulties see: tes.com/magazine/teach…

➡️Speech and language is in crisis - what can schools do next? The S&L crisis is not a Covid blip, it is a long-term problem that is damaging the outcomes of too many children and schools are being left to cope alone. A critical long read this morning tes.com/magazine/teach…

@MichaelRosenYes We really need help to raise awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) #DevLangDis to a far wider audience: teachers, parents, employers, so people with DLD don't continue to struggle without support. Topic for an episode of Word of Mouth, @michaelrosenyes?

@RCSLT @_ASLTIP @SBSpeechTherapy Such a loss to the profession

Please see our statement of condolence for Sarah Buckley (1976-2024), chair of @_ASLTIP, below 😢

The first published paper from Moor House on life skills in adolescents with and without DLD. Led by our Super OT Debbie Burridge. More research ongoing in this important area. @SusanEbbels @MoorHouseSLCN journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

While I'm loving the camaraderie & atmosphere on Blue Sky🦋 there are X-participants that are GREATLY missed 🥹. For one thing, there are so few Aussies🦘& Kiwis🥝. Please re-post! JOIN HERE: bsky.app @deevybee @BronwynHemsley @tricmc @MTMarySLP @Suze_Freogirl

@MTMarySLP @eddychwong @Kathy_Rastle @LisaFurlong212 @Mridula38383546 @SmartSPTherapy @TImothyKittel @voon_pang @mariammaliks @DowerAssociates @P_Ackermann I took a while to decide. Tried 🐘Mastodon but was disappointed. @WordAware alerted me to bsky.app & 1 month on, I'm grateful he did! # = #bskySPEECHIES. Ppl also use #SLPeeps #WeSpeechies, etc. No Ads, push notifications. No silly antiX. Rather like “old Twitter”.

@WordAware I don't look at it that much. Those posts I see most there, I also see elsewhere. I find it really difficult to post, as you can't add links & always have to post a picture (my pics are always the wrong proportions!). Often I just want to share a link or another post....

@SusanEbbels I quite like being in different communities, but it is harder to manage. Do you learn anything from Instagram?

I've learnt so much and created so many connections on Twitter, but this current regime seem intent on destroying it. I am exploring other options. Interested to find out what others are doing? Staying? Leaving? Where to?

@WordAware @speechwoman @TImothyKittel @BronwynHemsley Maybe I should try that too...

@speechwoman @TImothyKittel @SusanEbbels @BronwynHemsley I have been teetering on leaving for some time now, but i don't want to lose the connections built up over so many years. Blue Sky looks promising, so I'm dipping my toe in there.
