Welcome to Banter Booster! I’m David, and here’s footage from a fun weekend of legal PD:
Res ipsa loquitur!
We’ve assembled a host of useful tools and resources for you this week:
FREE therapy resources, including a writing curriculum, wellbeing resources, and CogComm tools
FREE learning opportunities and refreshers about reading with infants and toddlers, picky eating, knowledge-rich texts, hearing and dementia, the alphabetic code, and maths language
Tool of the week: a receptive and expressive relative clause workout
Private practice tips on supervision, control v collaboration, workloads, and how to read a balance sheet
Open-access research/summaries about DLD, DSM 5 diagnoses, and CogComm impairments and MS
Client perspectives on dyslexia and stuttering, and a reminder to think big!
We hope you find something handy in here for your practice this week!

Ever wondered how many symptoms make up all of adult psychopathology described in the DSM-5? It’s 628!
How many do you think repeat across multiple diagnoses? If you answered 231 symptoms repeating a total of 1022 times (median 3 times per symptom, range 2-22), good job!

Listen to these children talk about how dyslexia impacts them. @NessyLearning thanks for this window into the experience of dyslexic kids.

I realise that the point of your tweet was to congratulate the BBC, but the way you conflated stuttering with incoherence was inappropriate here. I stutter and am perfectly coherent. I'd rather you didn't relate the way I talk with politicians' attempts at evasion. @stammer
