Podcasts about specific language impairment

Hallie chats with guest Britney Morrish about the intersection of DLD and Dyslexia, and the Quadrant Model for differential diagnosis.In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie sits down with Britney Morrish, a dedicated speech-language pathologist and founder of the Language and Literacy Clinic of Manitoba. Britney is passionate about using evidence-based practices to promote effective communication and literacy skills while advocating for equitable educational practices. Together, they explore literacy-based therapy for students with developmental language disorders (DLD) and dyslexia. Packed with actionable tips, this episode covers connecting therapy goals to the curriculum, understanding the overlap between DLD and dyslexia, and practical strategies for advocating for these students.Bullet Points to Discuss:-What is DLD?       -How prevalent is it?-What is Dyslexia?-The Quadrant model for differential diagnosis.       -How does it help us clarify overlapping diagnoses?-Why SLPs are central to diagnosing and treating literacy-based disorders.-Closing the DLD awareness gap - in professionals and the public.Here's what we learned:Why SLPs are uniquely positioned to address literacy challenges.Defining DLD and its impact on language comprehension and expression.Key differences and co-occurrences of DLD and dyslexia explained using the quadrant model.Challenges with current screening methods and potential improvements.The importance of vocabulary and syntax in therapy for older students.Strategies to raise awareness about DLD among educators and parents.Managing therapy for older students with multiple challenges.Utilizing high-interest materials to increase student engagement.Learn more about Britney Morrish:www.languageliteracyclinicmb.cahttps://www.instagram.com/languageliteracyclinicmb/https://www.languageliteracyclinicmb.ca/masterclasseshttps://www.languageliteracyclinicmb.ca/productsFreebies/Offers:https://www.languageliteracyclinicmb.ca/productsLearn more about Hallie Sherman  and SLP Elevate:  

As SLPs, we're responsible for assessing language and sounds. Back in Episode 20, we discussed narrative assessment, which is the language side of literacy. But in today's episode, we're going to focus on decoding, which has to do with sounds. More specifically, we're going to discuss how to assess phonological awareness, why it needs to be assessed, and the benchmarks to look for.

Author Johanna Rudolph discusses her article, "Early Language Milestones and Specific Language Impairment," and the nature of SLI. The article can be found in the March 2016 issue of the Journal of Early Intervention. 

How do you start to pick apart speech at the genetic level? Dr Dianne Newbury explains what Specific Language Impairment is and how her research is unravelling a pretty complicated picture. Specific Language Impairment describes those who have difficulty learning, using and understanding language even though there aren't any developmental, physical or other issues. In this episode Dr Dianne Newbury describes how her research picks apart genetic information to look for the genetic variation that might contribute to the disorder... but actually there are many disorders and there's not just one gene involved, so a few different approaches have been used to unravel the clues.

Specific Language Impairment affects hundreds of thousands of British children, and causes them to have difficulties speaking and understanding language. Unlike common speech and language disorders, Specific Language Impairment (SLI), is the impairment of acquisition and language use, which is severe, persistent and often unexpected. SLI is hereditary and is typical of a complex genetic disorder, where certain combinations of functional variants result in less efficient biological processes.

Specific Language Impairment affects hundreds of thousands of British children, and causes them to have difficulties speaking and understanding language. Can the environment have an effect? Is Specific Language Impairment reflected in IQ scores? How will this research help people with Specific Language Impairment? Where does your research go next?

The genetic basis of autism goes under the microscope in this special Easter edition of Naked Genetics, from Kat Arney. One per cent of UK children have autism, a complex range of disorders that can be challenging to understand and live with. But recent advances in genetics are shedding new light on the origins of the condition. Plus, we look at the genes underlying Specific Language Impairment, find out why cancer has the X factor, and meet a hopeless-sounding gene of the month.

It's thought that around one in a hundred children in the UK is somewhere on the autistic spectrum - a complex range of disorders that can be challenging to understand and live with. But recent advances in genetics are bringing hope for new therapies that might help.

Objective: To study face and emotion recognition in children with mostly expressive specific language impairment (SLI-E). Subjects and Methods: A test movie to study perception and recognition of faces and mimic-gestural expression was applied to 24 children diagnosed as suffering from SLI-E and an age-matched control group of normally developing children. Results: Compared to a normal control group, the SLI-E children scored significantly worse in both the face and expression recognition tasks with a preponderant effect on emotion recognition. The performance of the SLI-E group could not be explained by reduced attention during the test session. Conclusion: We conclude that SLI-E is associated with a deficiency in decoding non-verbal emotional facial and gestural information, which might lead to profound and persistent problems in social interaction and development.

Dr Dianne Newbury talks about the contribution of genetics to specific language impairment. Dr Dianne Newbury is looking for the genes that predispose to Specific Language Impairment, a complex genetic disorder. Two regions, located on chromosomes 16 and 19, are linked with this disorder. Interactions between several normal genetic variants and environmental factors make certain individuals more vulnerable to language problems.

Interactions between several normal genetic variants and environmental factors make certain individuals more vulnerable to language problems. A better understanding of these underlying biological pathways will lead to the development of more accurate identification systems and better therapies.

Dr Silvia Paracchini talks about the influence of Genetics in Dyslexia. Dr Silvia Paracchini aims to indentify the genetic components of dyslexia and understand the underlying biology. Other disorders such as Specific Language Impairment or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are commonly linked to dyslexia. Dr Paracchini is looking for possible common genes for these clinically distinct disorders. Her research has the potential to uncover some of the biological mechanisms involved in human cognition.

Language is a highly complex, specialised cognitive ability that is unique to humans. Nevertheless, most three-year-olds can talk using simple sentences. However, seven per cent of otherwise normally developing children have ‘specific language impairment' (SLI), and many of these children have dyslexia too. SLI has a strong genetic component and for many individuals it is a life-long impairment. The long-term costs are socially, culturally, and economically high. I will present some research findings, using traditional and brain imaging techniques to explain these children's language problems. SLI provides a unique window into the brain, how specialised systems develop, and how our findings can help children.
