Testing a bilingual child in both of their languages remains the gold standard for diagnosing DLD. However, results here support the indexing of developmental expectations to measures of L2 experience when testing is constrained to English.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):
-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.
You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Omg. They’d never write that letter for their male students
lol
Fuck ICE. staff should be ashamed of their involvement.
I’m not taking new PhD students for now. It would be misleading. Many finishing now will likely go abroad. It’s a brain drain for sure.
Papi take my seat. 💜
A fantastic start to Day 4 at #ISB15!
Elizabeth Peña delivered an insightful #keynote this morning on developmental language disorder in bilingual contexts. 🧠🗣️
For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?
Recording?

#LSHSS study finds that the new Functional Language Proficiency (FLiP) task is an age-appropriate, asset-based, culturally relevant task for measuring functional language proficiency in most Spanish–English school-age bilinguals. @genesisarizmendi.bsky.social @sigperspectives.bsky.social #SLPeeps
No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.
English grammatical performance in bilinguals can reflect general developmental patterns and first-language (L1) influence. Bilingual children may rely on L1-specific linguistic cues, but classroom instruction can be adjusted. pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/...

You don’t have to agree with someone’s views to defend their right to say it. This is what authoritarian regimes do, not us.
If this ruling stands, it’s not just the end of a legal case, it’s the end to free speech.
Coolest Subaru I have ever seen
It is gross no due process and so far no one knows where he is.
On my way to Washington DC. Brought my passport. Why? A coworker (a citizen) of a friend was kidnapped by ICE in our nation’s capital.
