Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) may be diagnosed when someone has a long term difficulty using or understanding words and sentences. It's common and everyone needs to know more

It’s a reasonable question: Of all the playthings they have to choose from, why are babies so drawn to baby dolls?

The answer is that young children’s early play closely mirrors their day-to-day experience: feeding and care routines, hugging, kissing, and bedtime. So what better plaything than a baby of their own?

Playing with dolls nurtures a host of skills - fostering language and motor development, creative thinking, and social- emotional development.

Doll play also contributes to self-regulation. As they soothe and comfort their dolls, babies are practicing the same skills needed to comfort themselves.

And what a tender and thoughtful caretaker this little cutie is. After putting her doll to sleep, she is cognizant of the need for quiet - and ready to enforce it!

Did/does your child have a favorite doll? What benefits do you see?

This is so important for the 1.7 million children who struggle with talking and understanding words in the UK.

They need an education system that supports them and makes their speech, language and communication a priority.

When I first invented Dough Disco, an inspector said ‘I will need to see some proper teaching as well.’
Now the famous fine motor skill exercise is done in 52 different countries around the world with a Guinness World record.
Imagine if I’d stop it from her words. #doughdisco

A VERY long shot…but if anyone was on flight BA177 from Heathrow to JFK yesterday (Tues 4 April) at 1.10pm and landing at 3.30pm and found this little fella, there’s a distraught little boy who would love to be reunited with him. Get in touch if you can help. Thanks

Did you know that the development of play is closely linked to the development of language?

[Elklan Training @ElklanTraining]

Did you know that 81% of children with emotional and behavioural disorders have unidentified language difficulties?

[Katie Cherryman @katiecherryman]

@SLTLMallaband Well done! I hope you don’t mind me asking but which uni did you do your masters with? X

[Elklan Training @ElklanTraining]

Our minds are more prepared to receive information through the visuals. Making verbal instructions visual so the child can see and refer back to what they have to do will support them in understanding the task! This is especially important for children with SLCN 👇

@jimsyjampots Big knickers & baggy clothing! Keep up with the pain relief, rest when you can. Make sure you straighten when you stand & don’t hunch over (as much as it may hurt). I hadn’t had one before and it was honestly a good experience. Just the recovery took time. Don’t rush it.

At least 1.7 million children are struggling to talk and understand words in the UK right now. Research suggests that these children will find it harder to read, write and do #maths #numeracy as well as learning other subjects. #YoungFutures
