This further point has only just been made to me:

[Karen Emmorey now on Bluesky @kemmorey1]

@ros_herman concludes that pilot studies are extremely useful for ambitious intervention studies #tdl2019

[Loes Wauters @LoesWauters]

@ros_herman Pilot reading program resulted in significant increase in vocabulary, word reading and spelling. #TDL2019

[Deaf4Deaf @Deaf_4_Deaf]

Absolutely! Loving these tweets from #TDL2019 Read these to get informed about #Deaf children, research in education using sign, CI’s or HA’s, language acquisition, attainments, language deprivation, Executive functioning, levels of stress, emotional regulation etc.

Maria Brons, manager of Kentalis International Foundation presented on deaf education beyond the Western world, with reference to their recent book. Useful reference source for understanding the background education story of some learners now in UK settings. #QToD #TDL2019

@DotDeaf training deaf practitioners to work with deaf children with language difficulties - see slide #tdl2019

[BATOD @BATOD_UK]

The book 'Deaf education beyond the Western World' is developing the knowledge and empowering colleagues in deaf schools in Rwanda. To quote one Headteacher "It contains the information we have needed. So useful!" #TDL2019 #QToD

@ChloeRuMarshall The modern definition of DLD is not restricted to spoken language and includes the possibility of DLD in sign languages #tdl2019

[Ian Noon @iannoon]

Good to hear from international speakers in deaf education at #tdl2019. Some arresting slides about the higher prevalence and impact of deafness in low income countries

[Prof Ros Herman @ros_herman]

#TDL2019 Jessica Trussell: globally, up to a third of TD #deaf students and 2 thirds of those with additional disabilities #read below grade level. #Vocabulary: students need to know 88,000 words. Helpful if teachers model word solving strategies @WordAware

[Prof Ros Herman @ros_herman]

#TDL2019 Trussell: teachers not always prepared to challenge #deaf students. Try different approaches to teaching #vocab and #reading comprehension strategies, eg ‘read, check, repair’, content area literacy...

[Ian Noon @iannoon]

Fab fascinating talk from Gary Morgan earlier on executive functioning and language - reiterating importance of support to families in the early years to promote genuine two way interactions #tdl2019

[Jackie salter @Jackiesalter8]

Gary Morgan #TDL2019 it is not about being deaf or hearing, as a parent of a deaf child, it is about good communication and parenting skills... so important for parents to know...

[Dr Fiona Kyle @DrFionaKyle]

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful discussions about the first year of data from our new preschool longitudinal study with deaf and hearing children at #tdl2019 - thanks to @BATOD_UK, @NDCS_UK and @Elizabeth_found for their partnership and support @ros_herman @Ladder_Lab

[Karen Emmorey now on Bluesky @kemmorey1]

@ros_herman teachers of the deaf and mainstream teachers approached the intervention differently - TDD focused on language and went slowly while mainstream teachers of hearing kids tended to try to go too fast #tdl2019
