Final talk for the afternoon is by Danielle Matthews - what are the effects of parents talking to their babies on language development? Do the effects last? And are they worth it? #Naplic19
Predictors of word use in children's second year of life - the two biggest positive predictors at 1 year 1) the amount of vocalisations, 2) babies turning to gaze at what they are vocalising about #Naplic19
Research shows that contingent talk is correlated w/parent education & vocabulary dev. Qu: would parents from lower SES areas be able to improve their use of contingent response & will this benefit child lang development? #Naplic19

First session this afternoon by @HilaryLowe2 looking at universal vocab intervention for adolescents w/ language disorder #Naplic19 #DevLangDis
@HilaryLowe2 Whole-class Rx important - evidence for what we know works for teaching vocab & that teachers need to teach vocab, but that in-depth vocab instruction in schools reported to be minimal #Naplic19 #DevLangDis
In @HilaryLowe2 's research, the vocab rx was embedded into the classroom and delivered by the classroom teachers. Focus was on science vocabulary, comparing 'usual' teaching & the experimental approach. #Naplic19

Attending the wonderful #naplic19 conference. Theme for today 'Growing up with Developmental Language Disorder' #DevLangDis
Our first speaker is a young person with #DevLangDis. As we know, #DevLangDis is a life-long difficulty & doesn't just go away. Services in secondary school & beyond is essential. #naplic19
Key take-homes: 1) lack of vocabulary knowledge impacts on comprehension & expression, 2) links w/ language & stress/anxiety/panic, 3) importance of explaining what #DevLangDis is to the children w/ DLD & their families #naplic19
