How do adolescents with communication disability experience social media? Our pilot study trialled a co‑designed digital interview to find out. Open access! @natmunro.bsky.social @becsutherland.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/0265... #SLPeeps #DevLangDis #SLPhDone

An infographic summary of the paper, with four boxes. Box 1: Adolescents with communication disability use social media to connect with others, yet their perspectives are rarely captured using accessible, co‑designed research tools. There is a need for methods that better support young people to share their experiences.
Box 2: A three‑phase pilot study was conducted. Phase 1: Development of the Digital Dialogues Interview (DDI). Phase 2: Consultation with a youth advisory group. Phase 3: Structured interviews with five adolescents (12–16 years) with communication disability. Box 3: Pilot interviews showed the DDI was feasible for use. Participants used social media for connection. Challenges included communication difﬁculties and technology issues. Box 4: The Digital Dialogues Interview is a promising co‑designed tool for amplifying the voices of young people with communication disability.

Young offenders 'with DLD were more likely to have their behaviour interpreted as non-compliance.' Which of course has serious implications for them! This is why we need far greater awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) #DevLangDis

Help spread the word about developmental language disorder, a common yet often hidden condition that makes it hard for children to understand what's said to them & to articulate thoughts & feelings. Lots of helpful resources & information at radld.org. #DLDday #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

Flyer on Developmental Language Disorder, prepared by the organisation RADLD (Raising Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder). The flyer has the title "You can't see DLD" and shows a photograph of a boy in a blue short-sleeved shirt and khaki trousers, against a purple background. To the right of him there are lines of text which read:
- Started to talk later than his siblings
- Has difficulties learning new words
- Needs lots of repetitions to follow instructions
- Struggles to join activities & discussions
The bottom of the flyer says "Support #DLDday on Friday 17th October 2025. Learn more at RADLD.ORG".

On the 7 September 2025 at 3pm, the government will be testing
the emergency alert system to activate phones and tablets with a
loud alert. If you have one hidden from an abusive partner, switch
it off.
It will alert even if it's on silent or disconnected
from data and wifi.
How to opt out of emergency alerts:
!
Android
· Open the settings app
· Search 'emergency alerts'
· Select emergency alerts and from here you
can turn them off
. Tap the toggles on the right. If they are grey,
this means they are switched off.
iPhone
