- I don’t know if I would have been more or less nervous presenting at #RCSLTConf25 if I’d known in advance that I had been awarded the RCSLT James Law Child Language Conference Prize! But what an honour! 💫🤩

- Reposted by Vani GuptaThe 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
- Reposted by Vani GuptaResearchers map and summarize currently available evidence about optimal dosage of recasting for developmental language disorder. on.asha.org/46vHwQg #DevLangDis
- I want to “like” my own post because this is so key to the tension between practice and research at the moment…. More thoughts later #SLPeeps
- How do we define a successful therapy session? The child was happy and loved the activities? Or how they did on their goals? #bskySPEECHIES
- @lynn-williams.bsky.social talking about tailoring, mixing, or winging intervention approaches - pros and cons, talking about the potential risks and impact on treatment fidelity #bskySPEECHIES
- Attending a CSU event online with @sharynnemcleod.bsky.social @lynn-williams.bsky.social - topic is Thinking in Action: Strengthening Clinical Reasoning. Thanks for the opportunity! #SLPeeps #SpeechPathology

- A very robust 4 (or 3.5 days plus a tour of Malta) days of learning at #IALP2025 - this is fast becoming my favourite conference. 💫 Happy to hear your comments, feedback & questions. Otherwise see you next conference (current plans: Global TALES Symposium in Sept 2025, RCSLT in Nov 2025) ☺️
- Assessment tools must be translated AND adapted to match language differences #IALP2025
- Essential characteristics of bilingual aphasia assessment tools: psychometrically sound & standardised, time efficient & easy administration, need to incorporate both language comprehension & production, reading & writing assessment, cultural & linguistic considerations & bilingual eval #IALP2025
- 100 million stroke survivors worldwide with 50% suffering from chronic disability #IALP2025
- Now learning about a bilingual Maltese English Assessment for Aphasia (MEAA) #IALP2025
- Lexical informativeness quite important- as it is often reduced in this population; but measures for it lack fine grain analysis #IALP2025
- MDA facilitates more accurate diagnosis and guides the development of tailored treatment plans that address the specific challenges present in each person #IALP2025
- MDA is time consuming but worth it #IALP2025
- Discourse production in healthy ageing demonstrates linear trends #IALP2025
- MDA offers comprehensive understanding beyond traditional linguistically measures #IALP2025
- Trying to develop ways to automate the process of transcribing and analysing #IALP2025
- Now a presentation on multilevel discourse analysis (MDA) for aphasia #IALP2025
- Fundamental concepts of disability rights, inclusion, and social justice universally apply to the care of all persons with communication disorders regardless of diagnosis #IALP2025
- Ensure all social communication interventions focus on agency and self-determination: this should anchor our goal setting/intervention. Ask yourself: is this something that benefits them or others? Am I forcing masking or anxiety? What are the long term implications of teaching this skill? #IALP2025

- Life Participation aligns with the social model of disability #IALP2025
- Life Participation in Autism - creating supportive environments, honouring individual communication preferences, and promoting agency and self-determination #IALP2025

- The Life Participation Approach to Aphasia turns 25 this year.. #IALP2025
- Some very practical approaches to lived experience informed practice at #IALP2025
- No correlations with CELF formulating sentences subtest and Global TALES responses indicate that personal narrative assessment is testing constructs that the CELF does not assess #IALP2025
- Kristine Jensen de López & colleagues extended the Global TALES protocol to include six prompts of self-conscious emotions: envious, impressed, embarrassed, guilt, jealous, and thankful #IALP2025
- Personal narratives have specific criteria we can use to assess and analyse them #IALP2025
- Some more research from the Global TALES research team - Personal narratives, coherence, expressive language and content of life stories of Danish-speaking children with and without Developmental Language Disorder #IALP2025
