Heard you first in 1986. Played tapes so often music was ingrained in my brain. My lecturer quoted 'Great Leap Forwards' in 1991. My kids love it now. I sung 'New England' in a choir this year. '1649' is playing in an exhibition in my local market. Keep inspiring us Billy!
Tomorrow sees the 40th anniversary of my debut album 'Life’s A Riot with Spy vs Spy’. I’ve dug out some clips to celebrate and I hope you’ll share you memories of when and how you first heard my music. The vinyl is back in stock and can be ordered here: billybragg.tmstor.es

Book title of the year!
We're excited to have been chosen to publish this title. The work of SLTs in homelessness settings is an emerging area of practice. This book is the first to address the role of speech, language, and communication needs in the sector. #Homelessness #Speech

Some colleagues at conference being prevented by managers from diagnosing DLD.
@larchiba6 we CANNOT hold back diagnosis of #DevLangDis because of lack of services. Unethical and (@lilacCourt highlights) against HCPC guidelines #naplic23

This is as applicable to services for adults with DLD as it is for children.

So vital to listen to the experience and views of adults with DLD to inform services.
Views of adults with DLD ideal support for adults with DLD:
- free access to SLT support
- bigger more connected DLD community for adults
- easier to talk to others who understand
- more access to awareness and support in the workpace

What a dynamic SENCO! Inspirational and constructive approach to transforming the school day for all children.
Amazing presentation from Katie Little on practical ways to support children with DLD in mainstream schools!

First speakers at #naplic23 today are a wonderful group of adults with DLD #DevLangDis who are doing so much to raise awareness of DLD.
@SophieFranksDLD @DysphasiaPV and Shelbi Annison ("DLD; why can't you see me" on Instagram).
Thank you all for everything you do.

'Adults missing the boat' partly because there are not enough children being diagnosed at school. SLT services are not equitable across the UK-Fact! Some services barely see children in KS3/KS4 which makes diagnosis even more problematic!#DLD @RADLDcam @SieversRachel @LDNSecCEN
Excited to publish my first results from my research. I asked adult and paediatric SLTs about barriers and facilitators to #DevLangDis diagnosis.
One theme of 'Adults missing the DLD boat' is especially relevant to this years #DLDday theme of #GrowingwithDLD #RADLD @RADLDcam

Super exciting project! Camouflaging in DLD. I feel like I see it all the time in my practice-but there is no way to formally describe/quantify it. This will be very useful work.

So important to recognise how common DLD is in adults and how different it may appear in different situations. Employers, educators, friends and family can make all the difference. Adults with DLD have so much to offer!
1 in 14 people have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), a type of neurodiversity like autism, ADHD and dyslexia.
DLD starts in childhood, but doesn’t go away. It's about 'Growing with DLD'. Support #DLDday this Fri the 14th Oct.
