Here is a picture of the mapping exercise I carried out (which shows that about 40% of children who currently meet criteria for EHCPs risk falling through the significant gaps):

Mapping from old SEND "areas of need" to new "areas of development" and "specialist provision packages".

Here's some screenshots from the relevant sections of my course on the evidence base for interventions for school-aged children with DLD #DevLangDis. I would say the evidence is mixed and the details of HOW and HOW MUCH coaching/training is delivered/received is crucial.

Slide summarising studies considering effects of SLT/Ps training teachers. Results are mixed.

3 slides. First shows mixed effects of indirect intervention deliver via school staff. Second summarises effects when delivered by parents and third summarises all findings.

All ready for #DLDday (Raising Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder). We were at Hurst Green station raising awareness among commuters (without the hat) and then greeted the children with stickers (with hat)!

Low awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) means that many children are struggling in school without knowing why. Their teachers don't why either and don't know what strategies could help them. We have produced information on signs of DLD and supportive strategies for teachers & parents
