IJLCD - UK speech and language therapists' assessment of children's expressive language, and how this reflects the CATALISE statements on DLD

Please let us know what you think of this podcast. In this podcast we chat with Hannah Waine and Sally Bates about their research which looks at how UK speech and language therapists assess children’s expressive language, in particular looking at whether their practices reflect recommendations from the CATALISE consensus statements (published 2016/17). (CATALISE redefined Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and emphasised the importance of assessing functional impairment and real‑life impact, not just test scores.) The paper is: UK speech and language therapists’ assessment of children's expressive language, and functional impairment and impact, following the CATALISE publications https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1460-6984.12883 Hannah Waine , Sally Bates , Pauline Frizelle , Tomasina M.
