Today I presented a full day course with workshops to 40 Greek SLTs. Learning enough Greek to be able to adapt the SHAPE CODING system to the specifics of the language was quite a challenge, but a very interesting process.

This exercise really highlighted that DLD interventions must be adapted for language-specific errors. I hope my attempted adaptations of @shapecoding.com for Portuguese are helpful for the 300 Brazilian SLTs who will attend Thursday's course & will help the children with DLD that they work with.

I'd be interested to hear how / whether others are using this. It is designed to help clinicians identify grammatical targets for children with language disorders and is freely downloadable. #DevLangDis

Been using this target identification spreadsheet lots recently for an on-going project shapecoding.com/resources/gr... This revealed a few bugs in some of the cells. So, please download again if you want a (hopefully) bug-free version. Fyi, comprehension cutoff also changed from 85% to 80%.

Do join us for our Part 2 and/or Practical Applications courses to either explore more complex structures (Part 2), or how to use Part 1 coding in practical activities including in the classroom (Pratical Applications). Courses timed to suit those in the UK, or west of UK (eg US or Canada).
