About

What if we had the opportunity to rethink how we support school-aged children with Developmental Language Disorder?
Please join us for an unfolding hypothetical exploring some of the big questions facing researchers, clinicians and educators.
We begin with some very good news...
Courtenay…...someone has just given you $50 million to conduct the largest clinical trial of language intervention ever undertaken.

And, because this is a hypothetical, let's give you 2,000 school-aged children with DLD ready to participate.

Here is the deal….Courtenay, if you help us with the evidence, we will help you decide where to put the money.

We can start with these questions….
• What aspects of language should we prioritise?
• Which interventions are our best bets?
• And how will we know if they have worked?

Then the hypothetical changes.

• What if the goal was to enable more children with DLD to thrive in mainstream classrooms?
• What are the minimum conditions for effective inclusion?
• What needs to happen in the classroom?
• What should teachers provide?
• What should speech-language pathologists provide?

Join us for The DLD Hypothetical, an interactive conversation with Professor Courtenay Norbury about what we know, what we don't know, and what we might do differently.
