Funded by an NIHR i4i grant, the team is seeking to collect over 600 narrative language samples from children in the UK

[LanguageExplorer⛵ @LanguageExplor1]

We need 600 participants. How can you help?
Parents of children 4-8y are asked to download The Language Explorer app and complete the story retell and the pirate-themed tasks in 10 minutes
Everyone can share our campaign on Twitter and Facebook

Anyone know of any parental scaffolding taxonomies?

For my dissertation, I’m looking at parental scaffolding given to children with DLD compared to typically developing children, so if anyone knows of any parental scaffolding taxonomies, please let me know!

Please retweet too!

My lab has a new study! We're looking for adults with #DevLangDis to talk about their experiences of having #DLD as an adult and when growing up. The 60 minute conversation is the maximum time and may take less time 😀

Exciting role in the @RCSLTResearch team!!

@cristina_mckean @ASHAJournals @lainee_ashton @yvonnewren @LanguageExplor1 Interesting outcome - Training in LSA did not resolve the time investment barrier. User-friendly software, developed in codesign with SLPs might provide a solution. For the short-term, shorter samples, preferably from narrative tasks, should be considered.

[ASHA Journals @ASHAJournals]

Most SLPs working with children with developmental language disorder (DLD) do not perform language sample analysis (LSA) on a regular basis. The aim of this study in #LSHSS was to identify facilitators, barriers, and needs related to performing LSA https://t.co/MyWDauTd84
