Yay! So excited to visit the Gold Coast and Southern Cross University - our research project INCLUDE can begin! With amazing @natmunro.bsky.social 🤩 read about INCLUDE here: shorturl.at/YlZ5a

Congrats!! Jo - I’m coming to Australia finally 🥳 - will work on a project with @natmunro.bsky.social and be based in Sydney Jul 25-Dec 26. We should try and catch up! 😊

Publication alert! We qualitatively explored the potential impact of attention, receptive language, statistical learning, and working memory on nonverbal intelligence test performance for children with #ADHD and #DevLangDis

Amazing! Will read and use next time I do PD on DLF for psychologists! 🙏🤩

And I hope my advocacy (and others’) have helped too 😃

My reflection: Increased awareness in general, and researchers previously focusing on children and dyslexia realising the prevalence and impact of (D)LD in adolescen/adults. +More focus on language demands in schools partly due to Sweden moving from a ‘monolingual’ to multilingual country.

I know! 😃 see you in a few 💻

The most common neurodevelopmenal disorder most people haven’t heard about…. and cannot see!

Great and important theme for this year’s #DLDday #DevLangDis

#DevLangDis research in Sweden going strong - so nice to be in excellent company! 🇸🇪🥳

Open access paper on 246 Swedish adolescents with #DevLangDis and their caregivers: Predictors of academic achievement and educational support for adolescents with developmental language disorder (DLD) #SLPeeps doi.org/10.1177/0265...

Yes. And also bc the original count / Methods is very problematic as it is (Purpura, 2019). pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31625601/

Just published 🥳! Development and validity of the grammatical comprehension classroom screener GRA from the Legilexi foundation. Our analyses using IRT-modelling show good ability to detect students with comprehension challenges in the first year of Swedish school. publicera.kb.se/al/article/v...

I am beginning my review for updating my #WesternDLD2 course for Fall 2025. Boulton et al. report on caregiver-identified strengths in children undergoing an assessment. Their Child Autism and Neurodevelopment Strengths (CANS) checklist is open access: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Enjoyed this paper by Choi-Tucci et al on recasting: pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/...
Enhanced conversational recasting is what counts with (1) High variability - make 8 words on target into 24 by coming up with 2 synonyms for each & (2) get child's attention otherwise your recast doesn't count!

Great!! And see to down under?! 🇦🇺🦘 moving to Aus/Syd to collaborate with @natmunro.bsky.social for 18 months - starting in July!! 🤩🥳

Thank you @carolinebowen.bsky.social 🤩🥳
