Do you get the "This recording does not exist" message? that's all I see when I click on the zoom link. I'm a bit surprised to see no other social media posts about this as well.

Government Emergency Alerts
and Domestic Abuse
On the 7 September 2025 at 3pm, the government will be testing
the emergency alert system to activate phones and tablets with a
loud alert. If you have one hidden from an abusive partner, switch
it off.
It will alert even if it's on silent or disconnected
from data and wifi.
How to opt out of emergency alerts:
!
Android
· Open the settings app
· Search 'emergency alerts'
· Select emergency alerts and from here you
can turn them off
. Tap the toggles on the right. If they are grey,
this means they are switched off.
iPhone
· Open the settings app
· Tap on notifications
. Scroll to the bottom of the page. There'll be an emergency alert section
. Tap the toggles on the right. If they are grey, this means they are
switched off

Apologies if this explanation is confusing! It is a fascinating finding and paper, with positive and potentially adaptive findings about adolescents with #DevLangDis. Lead author Dr Claire Forrest, co-authors @drjennyg.bsky.social, Kate Button and Sarah Halligan. Published in JADD.

They took longer to learn the general rule they were disliked, meaning they paid more attention than adolescents without #DevLangDis to the 20% correct positive words in this condition. This difference was found in both the "self" and "other" condition.

So we found no general social evaluative learning deficit. But adolescents with #DevLangDis struggled to learn they were disliked. For each trial a positive and negative word were shown. In the dislike condition, 80% of negative words were "correct" and only 20% of the positive words were "correct".

📣 new paper alert! I am SO PLEASED to finally announce this paper's publication. We looked at how adolescents with and without #DevLangDis learn whether a computer likes or dislikes them or someone else. Both groups learned very well when the computer liked them. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I think there is a time limit on how long posts stay in the feed. Could that be it? This has shown up in my #DevLanDis feed.

Honest question: why do people sit in the quiet coach with a friend or colleague they will then talk to the ENTIRE journey! Why?!

This will be a disaster. Please spread the word!

‘EHCPs aren’t just bureaucratic paperwork – without them, it becomes far harder to ensure the right help gets to the right child at the right time.'

Jane Harris, CEO of Speech and Language UK, issues a warning to DfE about scrapping education, health and care plans

Why losing EHCPs would be a disaster for speech and language support

The DfE suggestion that EHCPs may not be the ‘right vehicle’ for SEND support fails to acknowledge the scale of the challenges that children with speech and language needs experience, writes Jane Harris
