"How to Steer Clear of Illegitimate Treatments for DLD"

I wrote a little article for parents about time-wasting, money-wasting, opportunity-wasting, hope-wasting "interventions" for Developmental Language Disorder for #DLDandME It's here:

https://dldandme.org/how-to-steer-clear-of-illegitimate-treatments-for-dld/

It includes tips to help families, and people with DLD to avoid practices that lack evidence of effectiveness.

🐝 As usual, I have a bee in my bonnet about #Pseudoscience.

I'm trying to find more adults with developmental disorder to follow. I'm finding plenty of speech therapists, but nobody with the actual disorder. Anybody with a #DevLangDis, comment with a 👍🏼, and I'll follow. Let's grow this community. Thanks.

New study reports on the language gains of a cohort of 154 children with #DevLangDis (4–6 years old), in a special education setting for children with language disorders. The sample included children with receptive–expressive disorders and expressive-only disorders, and monolingual as well as multilingual children. The results suggested that children's language skills improved. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1460-6984.12821

One main message of the 1-hour documentary, #BlameItOnGutenberg", is that humans are biologically wired for ORAL language, not written language. Written language must be learned through instruction, and when there is a genetic, neurological glitch, this language learning modality (written language: reading and writing) requires appropriate intervention, intervention that many schools fail to provide. https://blameitongutenberg.org/

#INTRODUCTION
Hello, I'm a New Zealand-born Australian Speech-Language Pathologist #SLP_SLT interested in Children's Speech Sound Disorders #CSSD, #ClinicalPhonology, Developmental Language Disorder #DevLangDis, Early #Literacy, the profound impacts of Science and Pseudoscience on allied health, medical, and education practice, #EBP #E3BP, Implementation science #ImpSci and more. I seek to connect with professionals and "consumers" of #SLP #SLT with kindred interests. Talk soon. Caroline 🙃😎🇦🇺🇳🇿🌻

New paper “late bloomers or language disorder…”. Children who received a #DevLangDis diagnosis between 4 and 7 yrs said a significantly smaller proportion of shape‐based nouns in year 2 than typically developing children and children with other diagnoses (e.g., #dyslexia). The study links to heterogeneity amongst late talkers and offers a new metric for assessing risk https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/desc.13342 #DLD

Currently, a Mastodon search can only be done for usernames (user URLs) or hashtags (e.g,, #DevLangDis). Apparently, a more powerful search tool will be available quite soon. #QuiteInteresting

New study: Raising a child bilingually does not exacerbate linguistic and cognitive difficulties in children with #DevLangDis. However, preliminary data suggest it does not lead to cognitive advantages in working memory either https://www.mdpi.com/2226-471X/7/4/287/htm
