New #research from @botting_nikki @ProfLHenry showing that #children born in #lockdown may show difficulties with #executive function and #regulation as well as subtle expressive #language issues.
What do we know about the developmental outcomes in children born in the first COVID-19 lockdown in England?
Read the preliminary findings from the Born In COVID Year – Core Lockdown Effects (BICYCLE) study here: bit.ly/4f7ngYk

ALT Comparisons between z-scores for all variables, with 95% CIs. Note: All variables are shown in relation to expected level for age (represented by z=0) according to their individual test norms (see online supplemental file 1). Non-verbal reasoning is shaded differently from all other variables as this was used as a comparative benchmark for research question 2.
Does your child have a learning disability? Would they like to take part in a #research #study on fun #thinking games? If so please contact Saba on the email in the flyer.

Great presentation by @KaterinaHilari about online assessment fidelity process, concluding that online aphasia measures delivered via telehealth can be both feasible and reliable when protocols are clearly developed.

Recruitment of people with aphasia for research is challenging. @jayciebohan and @clarerossiter present their insights about recruitment gained from FATE-A project. Thanks for the useful lessons!

Delighted to be presenting this ESO guideline on aphasia rehabilitation today at #NAC2025 in Uppsala. Panel discussion to follow. Looking forward to considering how we can implement the guidelines in clinical practice across Europe and beyond. #LetsTalkAphasia
Published at #ESOC2025: ESO's latest guideline on aphasia rehabilitation post-stroke underscores early, intensive, and personalized speech-language therapy to improve communication outcomes.
