Vanessa - Engage with Developmental Language Disorder is a useful clinical resource to find out about latest research engage-dld.com NAPLIC #naplic24 #DevLangDis #DLD

Vanessa - we need to think about ‘activity’ and ‘participation’ too. Important to consider the holistic viewpoint - doing research WITH children rather than TO children. #NAPLIC24 NAPLIC #DLD

Vanessa - shifting the focus to participation - involve children and find out what’s important for them. Involve children in goal setting and research, NAPLIC #naplic24 #DLD

Prof Helen Stringer talks about NNUTS: embedding universal, targeted and specialist models of working in schools. Professor Helen Stringer NAPLIC #naplic24

Examples of Universal, Targeted and Specialist levels of skill support required BEFORE we start to implement speech and language therapy. ⁦NAPLIC⁩ #naplic24 #DLD #DevLangDis ⁦Professor Helen Stringer⁩

The NNUTS framework looks at behaviours that they want to change. Having everyone involved including Headteachers, TAs (paid time) means that everyone was involved and contributed to accountability. NAPLIC #naplic24 #DLD #DevLangDis Professor Helen Stringer

I’m so sorry Anna Shea at I didn’t get chance to shout out about the research project you wanted help with. Can you tweet on here at all? @naplic #naplic24

Thanks SO much Professor Helen Stringer for your inspiring talk and kind words today. It was lovely to meet you 😊. I hope that our paths cross again in the future.

Such a lovely post from Sophie showing the impact that people with #DevLangDis have on professionals. Especially amazing advocates like Sophie

Speech and Language UK RADLDcampaign Afasic NAPLIC When I hear about my fellow DLDers getting bullied, it really angers and upsets me. Just because we are different, do we have to be bullied? Seriously? No, just no. Everyone is allowed to be different; otherwise, our beautiful planet would be boring. Bullies need to grow up!!

What a brilliant resource - LBU SLT students have worked together with people living with aphasia to share knowledge and experiences 🌟
