Proud to share our recently published review! 💫 Assessment of Personal Narrative Skills in Children Aged 4–18 Years: A Systematic Review | Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools pubs.asha.org/doi/abs/10.104… @ASHAJournals #LSHSS

Children's personal narrative abilities reflect their everyday communication skills. This tutorial guides clinicians to integrate personal narratives as part of their assessment & treatment for children with developmental language disorder (#DevLangDis).

So excited to be presenting preliminary findings from my systematic review at #IASCL2024 today! It has been a rocky arrival to Prague but hopefully things get better & better! 💫

Going to #ASHA23? If you are interested in pragmatic development in children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing, please join my colleagues for this 1hr seminar (1502) on Fri. Nov17 10:30AM CC103 We’re excited to share this work using the Language Use Inventory (LUI)! #SLP #SLT #SLPeeps
Children with DLD need individualised treatment that is specific to the child’s needs and how they learn, as well as individualised & responsive feedback - @SusanEbbels #IDLDRC

The findings in this study mirror the experience in my clinical work. Talking therapies with complex language are inaccessible for yp with DLD. Joint delivery of sessions with psychologists & explicit pre language teaching hit the sweet spot! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

For example, Dr Susan Ebbels mentioned using outcome measures at different levels: one outcome very close to what you're doing, so you can be clear about whether your intervention has worked (or not!) and some more distant measures #IDLDRC
It seems like there are mirrored themes across lots of aspects of SLP - learning theory, intensity/dosage, outcome measures: speech sound research also seems to be considering the same factors as language therapy research #IDLDRC

Attending @SusanEbbels Q&A at #IDLDRC - some really good points around considering the child's POV and time spent in therapy in terms of opportunity/cost
Also, a great point about not trying to do 'all levels' of therapy at once without being systematic and intentional: work on vocab/syntax and narratives, but teach them explicitly and teach children to put them together explicitly #IDLDRC
"Don’t want to teach in silos. Make the link between areas." @SusanEbbels talking about helping children with DLD make links between the aspects of language we're addressing in therapy #IDLDRC
I definitely advocate for this too! I call it "zooming in" and "zooming out" in therapy - putting the skill into context, but also ensuring you've considered the specific target you're working on (incl WHY) so that you're very clear on how to zoom in/out #IDLDRC
