New paper out! https://t.co/JHZtqLtlFH Learning to read irregular words may involve inhibiting the tendency to use the most common letter-sound mappings without considering whether the pronunciation matches a known spoken word. @jotaylor2306  @lilacCourt  @SarahLGriff  (1/6)

I am a dutch, widowed parent, of a British child. I live in the UK on a parent visa and my daughter is happily growing up here, near my late wife's family and our friends.

Last week @ukhomeoffice cancelled my right to be here. In error.

A thread to put the record straight.

[SCALES @PALS_SCALES]

Check out our latest blog post written by SCALES researcher @SarahLGriff discussing her new paper on the relationship between language and non-verbal reasoning! https://t.co/EFCXGNx1dT

[Engage with Developmental Language Disorder @Engage_DLD]

This week we’re looking at a paper that examined the relationship between language ability and social, emotional and behavioural difficulties in children with and without DLD. The authors of this paper were @ShaunKYGoh , @SarahLGriff , @lilacCourt and the SCALES Team.

New @PALS_SCALES paper out today in Royal Society Open Science: “Relationship between early language competence and cognitive emotion regulation in adolescence” with @lilacCourt @suksasilp @clsebastian and Laura Lucas

[Sarah Griffiths @SarahLGriff]

This suggests that children with more severe language disorder are unlikely to be able to participate in common talking therapies for mental health. It also suggests a need to develop and practice language that can be used for emotion regulation.
