This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap.
"I've always loved museums," she says,
"but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards'
We do
the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

⚠️ 1 in 4 children with SEND face challenges with talking and understanding words. Too often, they don’t get the support they need to learn, grow and thrive.

📩 We need your help! Will you tell your MP to press SEND on a future where every voice is heard? https://bit.ly/3KJ2CSO

Even when told about DLD lots of people don't seem to get what it is. And so we asked the experts, people with DLD (Developmental Language Disorder). One young person said DLD was 'trying to learn, but the words won't click.'
How do you explain DLD to others?

With a better-late-than-never mindset, I've just listened to Aiofe Gallagher's 2024 Dorothy Bishop DLD lecture. So many good points about listening to children (adults are bad at it) & their right to be a part of decisions about their lives. #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) exists in every language, but identification requires care as it can be both over and under identified.
Speaking multiple languages does not cause DLD!

#DLDday is coming, so I’m starting a thread over a few days.

DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) is all about spoken language. Words and sentences are tricky for people with DLD. And people don’t grow out of it.
