Is universal screening of oral language skills in Kindergarten an #slpdream or #slpnightmare?

Teasing ;) This study is an important step toward finding good methods to identify kids with developmental language disorder #devlangdis who need our support.

Thought process leading me to the path of............ but I'm not bilingual!?!
It's ok, it's ok! The authors of this study provide ideas on how to make bilingual instruction happen by collaborating with bilingual colleagues, community members, and your clients' family.

@speechtastic just doppelgängered me, so I’m SPREADIN’ THE LOVE! Tag, you’re it @slptoolkit! You’re basically like the SLP version of @imomsohard, and I love it #sohard 😂👍#slptoolkit

Long story short: SLPs use a lot of standardized tests, and there are some issues with that. (BLAH)
*
Short story made better: We have some things in the works for you to better explain the pros/cons of standardized tests vs. other options (e.g. language sample analysis), giving you --realistic solutions--. Stay tuned.

But for now, read our review of Fulcher-Rood et al. (2018) at #linkinbio

At Digital Summit #dskc to see if I can figure out how to spread our field's best research far and wide! #ebpslp

Not #research, but I LOVE the way @speaktherapy put this, and want to verbatim memorize these words so I can say it to parents and students, over, and over, and over again! #Repost @speaktherapy

We've met WAY too many SLPs who have memories of journal articles (likely from grad school) being excruciatingly boring and irrelevant to their practice.

But this ISN'T TRUE, friends! (I mean, sometimes it's true, but don't let that muck things up...) Please don't let your memories from when you DIDN'T know how to SLP to influence your work now. You know so much more now. And you're ready for more.

Trust us! We don't like boring things that waste our time, either. And we won't try to feed that to you.

Instead, our team works hard to pull HIGHLY RELEVANT research for SLP practice, every month. These are articles that we're excited about, and want to help you get excited about them, too! We tell you why they're good, in plain language, without the snoozefest, superiority complex, or guilt trips.
Promise. :) Try a sample, here:
