Are you a DLD specialist?
Are you new to the field of DLD?
Join our #ReSNetSLT Tweetchat to share your experiences, insights and questions on DLD practice & research.
This #ReSNetSLT tweetchat is led by Team ReSNetSLT, hosted by Hazel Roddam, Ellie Jones, Milly Heelan and Sophie Chalmers.
Our theme of DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) was chosen to link with the international awareness campaign on 16th October 2020.
Through this topic-based discussion, we invite you all to share your own experiences, insights, advice and questions.
Within our #ReSNetSLT Community of Practice we focus on dissemination of research and implementation into practice.
And we also want to facilitate discussion of how practitioners develop and evaluate best practice where there are gaps in the research evidence base
We hope that some DLD specialists will join our conversations to share your knowledge, advice and insights; as well as those of you who may be relatively new to the field of DLD and hope to use this tweetchat as a learning or CPD opportunity.
So, here are some useful resources we have selected, whether you work with children, young people or adults who have language disorder ….
There is still time to register for the webinar on 4th November by RCSLT together with NAPLIC: here’s the link.
You can also view the RCSLT’s 2018 webinar that presents a synthesis of the evidence for differential diagnosis and DLD terminology at the same link.
These excellent webinars are open to everyone, not only RCSLT members – Thankyou RCSLT!
If you are quite new to DLD, then you may like to read this open access focused review paper that presents an overview of the evidence base for working with children who have DLD.
This paper was authored by Hazel Roddam and Jemma Skeat (2020) for the Czech SLT journal LISTY KLINICKÉ LOGOPEDIE – don’t worry folks, it’s in English!
And RCSLT’s Bulletin magazine this month has also featured an article by expert Wendy Rinaldi, on working with adults who have DLD.
Our questions for discussion:
- What is your interest and experience in DLD?
for example, as a student, newly qualified or highly experienced practitioner, educator, or researcher? - What recent research publications or intervention resources have you found relevant to your own practice or studies?
- What personal experiences would you like to share about implementing research findings into your own practice?
- What priorities are most important to you for future research in DLD?
for example, intervention tools, intervention resources, or service evaluations?
