This led to a great example of collaborative practice in a primary school.

Kids with ‘developmental delay’ will be diverted from the #NDIS. But what is a #developmentaldelay?

See our (with @suze-freogirl.bsky.social) recent piece in #TheConversation for an overview of this term, and which children are affected by funding changes.

Hi @pamslater26.bsky.social - the reference data set is specific to children aged 5-7 who are TD or DLD. It is meant to be used as a guide, not as 'norms', so I guess if the CYP is a similar age, you could draw on the data to help you interpret their strengths and challenges holistically
