Feeling invigorated after the DLD diagnostic network, with case discussion (about pragmatic language), service issues (report writing) and lots of sharing of information about developments in the #DevLangDis world.
We will have 3 network meetings next year.

Despite being very nervous (did I mention that?! 🙈), I really enjoyed the chance to talk to the NAPLIC community about oracy approaches in schools and how these might support children with DLD. Thanks for having me @naplic.bsky.social @victoriawad.bsky.social 😊
Final speaker at #NAPLIC25, but of course not least is @amygaunt.bsky.social from @voice21oracy.bsky.social talking about how #oracy education can support children with DLD. #DevLangDis

I've joined Blue Sky to raise awareness about developmental language disorder (DLD) in adults. It so often gets left out of discussions about neurodivergence. I'll be posting more on this soon. #DevLangDis #RADLD #NAPLIC #AFASIC #inclusion #neurodiversity #neurodiversityatwork
