Don't get caught up in the speech-to-print/print-to-speech debate. We don't have evidence one is superior. What matters for schools:

i) have a phonics scope & sequence
ii) systematic & explicit instruction
iii) students blend AND segment
iv) overlay a morphology scope & sequence

Vulnerable children to lose classroom support in big cut to specialised teachers https://t.co/rPMMm02vWQ

[Monica Rowland @MonicaRowlandSP]

Incredulous to read VIC govt may axe roles of highly specialised visiting teachers for students w vision & hearing impairment, in favour of “disability inclusion coaches”. Such loss of expertise harms progress 4 student & teacher. @DanielAndrewsMP #DisabilityInclusion

“The myth that autistic people do not have empathy is widespread. It’s not true, of course, but it means that lots of autistic people – who know they are empathic – don’t even consider the possibility that they could be autistic.”

@FlowersThatBee This is great @FlowersThatBee . If we want to refer to, or use the poster, how do we reference it? If it’s your creation, I’m loving your graphic design flair!

@EmmaMcSLP Looking good @EmmaMcSLP !

[Monica Rowland @MonicaRowlandSP]

@sianprior The imagination behind the idea as much as the visual spectacle would delight her. Wonderful Margot.

[Monica Rowland @MonicaRowlandSP]

Paper doesn’t mention how many of the children/YP had a complex trauma/OOHC/looked-after children history, but meeting Special Ed Needs & Disabilities for this gp even more urgent (& tricky), as scant safety net may exist, aside from school, where exclusion is too common.

[Monica Rowland @MonicaRowlandSP]

@EmmaMcSLP Good reminder. Initial sessions routine for us, yet can be enormous for families. I send a Plain English letter to the child/carer introducing myself, explaining what will happen, and saying I look forward to meeting them. Be good to know if it’s useful, or if better ideas.

Interesting SR, no sig relationship found rather co-morbidity. However, when working in youth justice I often found the young people would mask these difficulties so as not to appear weak (their perception) or vulnerable - poss leading to under reporting https://t.co/Xs5cORlAot

[Monica Rowland @MonicaRowlandSP]

I’m encouraged by the suggestion of increased collaboration between speech pathologists and mental health service providers to offer early mental health support that is accessible & engaging for young offenders w SLCN. Our pilot project here.

“Catholic educators are moving towards explicit, direct instruction over inquiry based learning and the early results are very promising." Yes they are. Well done @rossefox, Catalyst team and the wonderful administrators and staff from Canberra-Goulburn CE schools.

When you’re prepping for a chat about teaching reading and spelling...

[Rob Marchetto @RobMarchetto]

A STUDY that asked students with learning behavioural difficulties what makes an excellent teacher has revealed they value instruction over a fun disposition. These children said they don’t want to be let off the hook. They want simple instructions, not simplistic teaching. ⁦
