How wonderful to see the work of previous colleagues being celebrated- a huge well done to all of the team (and you all look so glamorous!) 👏

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a PALPA (Psycholinguistic Assessments of Language Processing Abilities) for teaching purposes? Used to be published by @PsychologyPress I think? @RCSLT @RCSLTResearch @ClinAcSLT @tandfpsychology can you help?

I’ve finally opened a Blueksky account. To those I’m following on here, do you have one too? @RCSLT @RCSLTResearch @ijlcd @ClinAcSLT I couldn’t see you yet?

The DLD diagnostics toolbox by @larchiba6 is such a fantastic resource. If you assess children's language, you should read it. It's so practical, recognises the nuances & complexities & discusses wording you can out in reports that recognises that. uwo.ca/fhs/lwm/news/2020/06_…
