I don’t know if I would have been more or less nervous presenting at #RCSLTConf25 if I’d known in advance that I had been awarded the RCSLT James Law Child Language Conference Prize! But what an honour! 💫🤩

I want to “like” my own post because this is so key to the tension between practice and research at the moment…. More thoughts later #SLPeeps

And the adaptations asked for are usually small and low cost. Which makes it all the more frustrating.

A very robust 4 (or 3.5 days plus a tour of Malta) days of learning at #IALP2025 - this is fast becoming my favourite conference. 💫 Happy to hear your comments, feedback & questions. Otherwise see you next conference (current plans: Global TALES Symposium in Sept 2025, RCSLT in Nov 2025) ☺️

Essential characteristics of bilingual aphasia assessment tools: psychometrically sound & standardised, time efficient & easy administration, need to incorporate both language comprehension & production, reading & writing assessment, cultural & linguistic considerations & bilingual eval #IALP2025

Recovery patterns in bilingual #aphasia may vary - parallel recovery, differential recovery, antagonistic recovery, alternating antagonism, blending recovery, selective aphasia, successive recovery #IALP2025

Lexical informativeness quite important- as it is often reduced in this population; but measures for it lack fine grain analysis #IALP2025

Vani Gupta @vanigupta.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Ensure all social communication interventions focus on agency and self-determination: this should anchor our goal setting/intervention. Ask yourself: is this something that benefits them or others? Am I forcing masking or anxiety? What are the long term implications of teaching this skill? #IALP2025
