‘When you notice a child experiencing difficulties at school, whether that be with learning, literacy, behaviour, friendships or attention, ask yourself: “Could it be a speech and language challenge?”,’ says @speechandlanguk CEO @Jane_Harris77 tes.com/magazine/teaching-le…

Are language difficulties driving the rise in pupil inattention?

The role that early language skills play in social-emotional regulation is often overlooked, says the chief executive of Speech and Language UK

Identifying & treating children with #DevLangDis within the context of their different languages is challenging. Read our new @DLDandMe post by @jannaoetting on identifying DLD in children whose first language is not the language or instruction at school. dldandme.org/dld-affects-all…
