Congrats!! Jo - I’m coming to Australia finally 🥳 - will work on a project with @natmunro.bsky.social and be based in Sydney Jul 25-Dec 26. We should try and catch up! 😊

Analyzing the Impact of Four Cognitive Constructs on Nonverbal Intelligence Test Performance: Implications for Children With Neurodevelopmental Disorders Purpose: Children with neurodevelopmental disorders historically exhibit lower and more variable nonverbal intelligence (NVIQ) scores compared to...

Publication alert! We qualitatively explored the potential impact of attention, receptive language, statistical learning, and working memory on nonverbal intelligence test performance for children with #ADHD and #DevLangDis

Amazing! Will read and use next time I do PD on DLF for psychologists! 🙏🤩

And I hope my advocacy (and others’) have helped too 😃

My reflection: Increased awareness in general, and researchers previously focusing on children and dyslexia realising the prevalence and impact of (D)LD in adolescen/adults. +More focus on language demands in schools partly due to Sweden moving from a ‘monolingual’ to multilingual country.

I know! 😃 see you in a few 💻

The most common neurodevelopmenal disorder most people haven’t heard about…. and cannot see!

Great and important theme for this year’s #DLDday #DevLangDis

#DevLangDis research in Sweden going strong - so nice to be in excellent company! 🇸🇪🥳

Predictors of academic achievement and educational support for adolescents with developmental language disorder (DLD) - Olof Sandgren, Birgitta Sahlén, Christina Samuelsson, Anna Ekström, 2025 Purpose Developmental language disorder (DLD) has known consequences on academic performance, and adaptations to teaching methods and material are often require...

Language Clearly Matters; Methods Matter Too - PubMed Over two decades ago, the "30-million-word" gap rose to prominence after work by Hart & Risley (1995) suggested that children from families with low socioeconomic status (SES) heard fewer words than t...

Yes. And also bc the original count / Methods is very problematic as it is (Purpura, 2019). pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31625601/

Enjoyed this paper by Choi-Tucci et al on recasting: pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/...
Enhanced conversational recasting is what counts with (1) High variability - make 8 words on target into 24 by coming up with 2 synonyms for each & (2) get child's attention otherwise your recast doesn't count!

Great!! And see to down under?! 🇦🇺🦘 moving to Aus/Syd to collaborate with @natmunro.bsky.social for 18 months - starting in July!! 🤩🥳

Thank you @carolinebowen.bsky.social 🤩🥳
