Important information for speech pathologists wanting to work in one of the MRA countries - what is it, what’s the eligibility criteria and interesting to see how many people are using the MRA fast track process (esp the 2022 data!) @SpeechPathAus @IALPAKL2023

[@SPA President (Kathryn McKinley) @SPAPresident]

@tristo_talk Do our funding models match the evidence? There are ethical considerations for us to consider and work for us to do in this area @IALPAKL2023

[@SPA President (Kathryn McKinley) @SPAPresident]

@SharynneMcLeod We need to be putting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in our journal articles. What goal does the paper relate to? And then pop it in the key words - the UN search articles for these goals. Who knew?! New learning for me here! @IALPAKL2023

M4D at #SPAConf discussing work by @katrina_kelso for children who are poor comprehenders.
Have a look at the (new) #LaLYP webpage for copies of work by Katrina

This cohort responds well to vocabulary intervention and developing inference skills. It’s important to realise that comprehension varies within an individual. This means that motivation can be finessed. Nice work @katrina_kelso….

[@SPA President (Kathryn McKinley) @SPAPresident]

M4D #SPAconf
Poor comprehenders constitute around 7% of students. They decode text well enough, but don’t understand text and therefore are generally not picked up in education as potentially benefiting from assistance Kellso.

[@SPA President (Kathryn McKinley) @SPAPresident]

These aren’t necessarily a clinical population who meet diagnostic criteria for #DLD. However, there’s certainly a need to look at students in middle primary if we are to deliver intervention that is life changing
