So proud of my researcher SLP bestie Meaghan McKenna! Her presentation filled out the room at #ASHA23! So sad I missed it but know she rocked it! ✨

Can’t wait to read!! 🤩

I am so grateful for the bilingual researchers who share their work generously to advance the field. We know we are all in this together for a more important cause than our own individual work💗

This is an important piece about the disproportionate mortality rates in #PuertoRico in recent years & compounding effects of Hurricane Maria. My heart aches reading this. Such a beautiful island and people-victims to the inhumanity of colonization. 💔

So proud of this very comprehensive brief on the state of #earlycare & #earlychildhood systems in #Arizona. 🌵🏜️ Please RT & share widely! We got work to do! #preschool #education #educationpolicy #duallanguagelearners #inclusion

We have a new preprint, "Unpacking Ableist Language in Schools: Suggestions for School-based Practitioners". We want to help educators begin conversations about how ableism is pervasive in schools, and reflected in/perpetuated by the language they use osf.io/73ykq 1/3

New article: rdcu.be/dvV24 with Dr. Hope Gerde and Nikki Grasley-Boy! These survey results leave us with much to consider as we develop and study approaches to writing assessment in the earliest elementary grades.

Looking forward to talking about how to serve #emergentbilingual #preschoolers with #disabilties with Tim Tipton for WestEd on 1/30 ✨Free registration✨ ⬇️

Very grateful to have support through an internal grant for this passion project. Your child does NOT need to have been identified at the time of the expulsion/withdrawal. Link to survey to indicate interest in first comment!

Yes! Code-switching is not affirming or kind. Allowing children to use their entire linguistic repertoires is. That’s the goal of language justice and liberation.

#NEWREPORT! The CEP & the Equity Research Action Coalition review the policy effects on Black children/families & examine how to further advance the Black Child National Agenda. Read it HERE: cep.asu.edu/resources/Adva…
