With the help of families and schools in Sheffield we are developing an understanding of how cognitive abilities develop and change across infancy and childhood

Our team is so excited to be part of this amazing trial designed to support early numeracy & executive functions in the year before children start school!

[EEF @EducEndowFoundn]

TODAY: In collaboration with @educationgovuk’s Stronger Practice Hubs, we've launched eight new trials of programmes for nurseries and early years settings across England.

It's #NeurodiveristyWeek - a great opportunity to reintroduce the Sheffield Autism Research Lab (ShARL) at @SheffieldUni! 👋

We focus on advancing research into Autism and genetic syndromes, with the aim of having a positive impact on the lives of diagnosed individuals.

[Dr Emma Blakey @EmBlakey]

Come & work with us! We have an exciting 2 yr post-doc position at @UlsterUni to work with me, @ProfVicSimms @DrAbbieCahoon @EJamesBrabham & Matthews to create & rigorously test a parent co-developed home maths intervention for the early years

We are so excited that today we welcome our first family for our Sheffield Early Years Longitudinal Study! We’ll be looking at how language and core cognitive skills develop in the toddler to preschool years over 18 months https://t.co/ruTLdhdZrB

[Victoria Simms @ProfVicSimms]

When the press release is out it makes everything very real! Excited that this @EducEndowFoundn funded intervention is underway with @EmBlakey & @GaiaScerif #collaboration https://t.co/C1p9maaXCf

We are excited to welcome Molly Jackson to our team. Molly will be working with @EmBlakey on the Sheffield Early Years Study to better understand early cognitive development in the exciting toddler years (stay tuned for updates)! https://t.co/ZtbArhNC39 Welcome Molly!

[Dr Emma Blakey @EmBlakey]

We are so excited to be part of this @ScienceShef @sheffieldcogdev, working with an amazing team led by @GaiaScerif. We’ll be trialling a co-developed intervention aimed at supporting early years practitioners to embed executive functions into numeracy based play activities.

Did you know that number #boardgames could improve numeracy skills? Find out more here 👉https://t.co/HULf0HYyT6

Check out our blogpost about why number #boardgames might boost #children’s early #number skills on the @lborocmc blog.

Fun to write my first research explainer for @ConversationUK. Our @SDDS_UK study on how #earlyyears education and care has helped children's development during COVID. With solidarity to those whose kids can't attend nursery at the moment. https://t.co/l4x93ENkZT

[Gaia Scerif @GaiaScerif]

And even more excited to be thinking with you about mechanisms of EF/maths change @rebeccammerkley , @SylviaGattas and a superb advisory board, including @DrVicSimms @EmBlakey and others - thanks you @NuffieldFound for making this happen. And keeping us on check.

Research has shown young children see intervening in antisocial behaviour as a universal duty.🌍 Here's a great article on how children believe everyone present in antisocial events have a responsibility to take action, not just the authorities.👮‍♀️👍 https://t.co/KXR0oaoS21

Did you know that by age one children already have expectations on the fair distribution of resources, and by age two tend to themselves distribute resources equally?🧐 Here is a really interesting article on how toddlers reward those who act fairly.😃
