Awesome thread here for #slpeeps and #slp2b re; language intervention #devlangdis xitter.cf/larchiba6/status/99277… – at Sydney, New South Wales

It's a false economy not to support OUR children and young people in Residential Care @nadhimzahawi they need stability, support and a home where people care for them and help them get the skills they will need to navigate the complexeties of independence.
Please respond? #ECLCM

▶ "The same conversations and activities on repeat really lead to declining mental health, with people really feeling like their worlds were quite closed in. So how could we help connect them to a source of novelty, growth and learning?" @KudozExperience radionz.co.nz/national/progr…

Children who had experienced more conversational turns with adults - independent of SES, IQ & adult/child utterances alone - had more activation in Broca’s area, which significantly explained the relationship between language exposure & language skill... researchgate.net/publication…
