2020 sucks but at least we had some terrific publications about things to consider when trying to improve children's opportunities to learn and succeed in life. Here're my 10 favorite papers that I encourage you to read and share. #impsci #DevLangDis #Dyslexia #slpeeps #elachat
The newest paper by @CattsHugh and @tiffanyphogan on the importance of early identification and prevention of negative consequences associated with #Dyslexia. Also, what a cool title!!! https://psyarxiv.com/nvgje/
The #DevLangDis paper that we all needed: @mcgregor_karla @lisa_goffman @TELLlab @tiffanyphogan @lfinestack discuss the benefits of the #DLD label for research, clinical practice, advocacy, and policy. https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2019_PERSP-19-00083
How to provide culturally competent services to dual language learners? @CastillaEarls @leah_fabiano @HABLAlab and colleagues demonstrate how to combine converging evidence from tests, Qs, language samples, and evaluations of learning potential. https://pubs.asha.org/doi/abs/10.1044/2020_AJSLP-19-00179
Do we, as researchers, do a good job diagnosing #DevLangDis in our studies? NO, according to Hallie Nitido and Elena Plante. Only 42% of studies reviewed reported appropriate measures. Let's do better! https://pubs.asha.org/doi/abs/10.1044/2020_JSLHR-20-00091
You know I like qualitative studies! Katrina Fulcher-Rood, @CastillaEarls, and Jeff Higginbotham asked #slpeeps about their perspectives on #EBP. They found varied perception and use of EBP determined by context-specific barriers and limited education. https://pubs.asha.org/doi/abs/10.1044/2019_AJSLP-19-00171
In this amazing and heartbreaking paper, Andrea Ash et al report distrust, confusion in mothers over the lack of clear diagnostic info and emotional distress over their children's progress. But good news, they appeared satisfied with #SLP interventions. https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2020_AJSLP-19-00064
What do reading specialists think of SLPs' ability to support children with written language difficulties? Maggie Watson et al. found positive attitudes but some confusion about SLPs' scope of practice and training. Better advocacy and IPC is needed! https://pubs.asha.org/doi/abs/10.1044/2019_PERSP-19-00006
Interprofessional collaborative practice (IPC) is central in supporting students with learning disabilities. @pscahn wrote how IPC can also dismantle systemic racism by shifting the emphasis from the individual to the system. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13561820.2020.1790224
Finally, @BaumannAna and @LCabassa discuss how #impsci can help address inequities in healthcare by focusing on equity during reach, designing and selecting interventions, implementation strategies, adaptation, and outcomes. https://bmchealthservres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12913-020-4975-3
