Hello! I'm David.
Unfortunately, not this one - and, yes, I had to ask my team who he is!
Welcome to Season 2! I squandered too much school holiday-parenting time searching for high quality speech pathology content, so you don't need to!
New open-access research:
Childhood Apraxia of Speech: Updated Evidence Brief

A crash course in the science of reading
If you want to get a basic idea of how people learn to read, and you have very little time to spare, in this video I try to describe reading development to @mrbartonmaths in under *8 minutes*. (He then asks some great questions afterwards.)

FREE assessment and therapy resources
National Guideline for the Ax and Dx of ASD:
Diagnostic-based funding means families get lost in unforgiving systems, and drives unhelpful clinical practices.
Systems must ask who a child is (strengths, challenges) not what diagnosis they have.
This approach is enshrined in the Aussie Dx guideline.— Andrew Whitehouse (@AJOWhitehouse)

Is your client decoding or memorising: a free two-sentence test!

Free decoding automaticity lists
I have tweaked the word lists based on analysis of errors and children’s performance and will be trialling it again…
I’m finding the process very interesting even if I decide the decoding automaticity test doesn’t add much to what a simple WCPM fluency check could do!
