I'm excited to share that a meta-analysis we've been working hard on the past couple years is published! ✨ The meta-analysis was focused on finding "what works" for teaching WORD READING to adolescents. https://t.co/u1XueV7vmm

Really disheartening to see the continued decline in 12th grade NAEP reading scores. We must do better. https://t.co/yXpQ3HpFdE

So happy to see that my PhD mentor Karen Erickson's work was highlighted in this Disney+ documentary! She (and the work she does) is absolutely phenomenal.

What a great time @SSSReading learning from reading researchers and also presenting some research!

Check out this tutorial I wrote that provides an overview of trauma/language, trauma-informed practices, + case examples of trauma-informed care in action!

[ASHA Journals @ASHAJournals]

#LSHSS tutorial explains the relationship between trauma and language disorders -- and offers trauma-informed best practices for SLPs to apply in their work.

Alexandra Papas, a SLP graduate student @mghihp and my current thesis mentee first-authored this paper exploring the experiences of a Mayan family with a minimally speaking autistic child. Kudos to her!!!

[SIGPerspectives @SIGPerspectives]

This study from #ASHASIG1 outlines several themes in the experiences of an Indigenous Mayan family with a minimally speaking #autistic child. Learn more about the intersection of autism and ethnicity https://t.co/v0jGulSJxq @UConn #SLPeeps

An excellent 10 minute rundown of the current US education landscape, contrasted with the previous 20 years https://t.co/J5ZWbFnXmX

Late Friday night, the PBS Kids Ready to Learn Grant was shut down, effective immediately. This decision is bad for kids and bad for families.
Let's unite across party lines to stand up for quality children’s media.

A case report article that details a word reading intervention with an adolescent that resulted in 5 years of growth on grade reading level in 9 sessions is now published [open access]. https://t.co/d1ix0pB9Gd

@devin_kearns This is so great!

Hearing that the stats agency inside the Education Department is demolished. Nearly everyone inside the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has been fired. Unclear who will run NAEP or collect data that Congress has mandated.

[Olivier George @brainaddiction]

It's clear that many do not understand what @NIH-funded research does to improve health. It's time to revive a study published 10 years ago that provides incredible information about this. link in the comment

Every single new drug approved by the FDA from 2010–2016 was built on NIH-funded research—that’s all 210 drugs. But what the public sees is just the tip of the iceberg.

Pharma takes credit for the final product, but beneath each drug developed, there are ~20 years of basic research, and 90% of the cost is from basic research funded by the NIH, which discovers drug targets, understands disease mechanisms, and creates life-saving treatments.

Figuring out how cancer evades the immune system, how addiction rewires the brain, and how heart disease develops is the role of the NIH, creating the foundation for the breakthrough drugs that come 20 years later, and the NIH does all that with only 0.8% of the US budget.

Without NIH, there would be no cancer immunotherapy, no anti-overdose medication, no anti-heart attack or stroke medication, no cutting-edge treatments.

If NIH funding is cut, the iceberg will melt. That means fewer cures, more suffering, and more lives lost.

The science beneath the surface keeps us afloat.
Invest in NIH. Invest in life

The IES practice guides are the best! These resources are now being threatened. Download them now to get EBPs for math, reading, and behavior

[Devin Kearns @devin_kearns]

There is an effort to cancel @IESResearch contracts … prob not legal and def a bad idea… Does Mr @elonmusk want an educated workforce? IES funds non-partisan work to help kids learn better—and is known for good fiscal stewardship … wrong place to find savings & corruption.

We presented on our meta-analysis today on adolescent decoding interventions AND systematic review of holistic writing quality at the Pacific Coast Research Conference, a collaboration made possible through #mati2023 @terripigott @Meta_Reviewer

Congratulations, @MissDeptEd on improving from 21st in 2022 to 9th in the nation on @NAEP_NCES 4th grade reading! Rankings also improved for Black (3rd), Hispanic (1st), and FRL (1st) students. So very proud of this work! #thisisonlythebeginning 👏🏾
