- Hello #SLPs! I’m sharing this recruitment flyer on behalf of my PhD student. We’re recruiting Australian kids with #DevLangDis to participate in a grammar learning task. We hope you can share with your families! EOI link also here: forms.office.com/r/zMKNiSs0SM
- The first paper from Shengfu’s PhD! A scoping review on recast dosage for children with #DLD. With increased attention to how much we do of what we do, this is an important contribution @ashajournals.bsky.social

View full threadWe have explored some differences in ways dosage is conceptualised in the context of recasting.
- Shengfu’s current study will explore optimal recast rates within sessions, so watch this space!
- With high variability input, recasting is effective if delivered for 5 weeks with a recast rate of 0.8/min five times per week.
- Based on current literature, it is hard to determine optimal dose for recasting.
- The review was an iterative process as we found only ONE lab which had systematically had investigated varying parameters of dosage for recasting.
- We found recasting is effective if delivered > 8 weeks with a recast rate > 1.4/min in 30 min twice per week sessions if input variability isn’t considered.
- Come and join our @utas.edu.au Speech Pathology team to deliver the first and only program in the state! careers.utas.edu.au/en/job/50062...

View full threadMore work needs to be done to explore the perspectives of caregivers of and children with #DevLangDis as the consumers of such interventions.
- This research was driven by an ongoing evaluation of TheMEDI. Check out the intervention manual here, along with other free-to-access resources for #SLP practice from #LaLYP: languageandliteracyinyoungpeople.com/resources/fr...
- Responses suggest: 1) Grammar is viewed as the critical framework for language, 2) providing grammar intervention takes skill and even experienced clinicians are honing their craft, and 3) there are professional tensions and challenges implementing grammar intervention at a contextual level.
- These are preliminary findings through a PAR approach to inform ongoing evaluations of grammar interventions through the lens of those who deliver the interventions.
