People are STILL asking me for copies of this infamous talk daring to say that there is no research on #GestaltLanguageProcessing measuring any outcomes on communication, language, or behaviour. | Bronwyn Hemsley

This was a systematic review. https://lnkd.in/gvv4xRqg …Spoiler, the forthcoming meta-narrative review not only shows there is no research in the book chapters, blogs, or books, but also that the broader literature around #GLP #NLA does not reflect Ann Peters' own works very closely at all!!….

6. ❣️ Client views & 😍 for speech pathology!

Time for a little DLD activism! | Stephen Parsons

Time for a little DLD activism! Search your local NHS Trust and 'DLD' or 'Developmental Language Disorder' and see what comes up. If nothing, send a polite email suggesting that adding some DLD content would be beneficial for their local community. You may even like to send an example such as this from Oxford Health https://lnkd.in/e-cv2Vwa and suggest that their Speech and Language Therapy service will be able to help. It is these small actions that help to shift the dial, but it needs collective action so please get involved….
