    In this episode we chat with Professor Lucy Dipper and Lydia Davis, two of the authors of the paper 'A systematic review of language and communication intervention research delivered in groups to older adults living in care homes'

    Older adults in care homes may experience reduced communication skills and fewer opportunities for interaction and this can negatively affect their wellbeing. There has been limited research looking into the benefits of group-based language and communication activities in care home settings. The authors set out to evaluate the evidence for such interventions, explore their effects on communication, language and social interaction, and identify the behavioural mechanisms that may underpin any benefits.

    About the authors:
    Professor Lucy Dipper is Professor of Clinical Linguistics at City St Georges University London University. She works in the field of Speech and Language Therapy, exploring the best ways to assess and remediate communication disorders.

    Lydia Davis is a Clinical Academic Speech and Language Therapist, also working at City St Georges. Lydia is Interested in exploring and supporting the communication experiences of older adults in healthcare settings.


    The two papers discussed here are:

    1. ‘Communication support in care homes for older adults: Views and reported practices of speech and language therapists and care home activities staff in the UK'     https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1460-6984.13010

    In this episode we welcome Dr Jarrad Lum, Associate Professor, Cognitive Neuroscience and Shelby Lim, Doctor of Psychology (Clinical) Candidate, both of Deakin University, Australia, to discuss their paper 'Meta-analysis reveals low language capacity in childhood is associated with mental health problems in adulthood’
    https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1460-6984.13125

    The research builds upon previous studies which showed that children and adolescents with speech, language and communication issues are at increased risk of anxiety, depression and other emotional difficulties. This study shows that those children carry a higher risk of broader mental health challenges into adulthood than those without such a history. The paper looks at the implications for practice for professionals working in learning, education, health and social care.

    Note: In the podcast we talk about the need for screeners for speech, language and communication needs. As far as we are aware there is not anything out there for screening for broad SLN issues as the screeners that are available are for specific conditions. However, speech and language therapists will tend to develop screening tools for their mental health colleagues as part of their responsibility for raising awareness of/identifying Speech, Language and Communication Needs among the population they are working with.

    Listeners may also find it useful to take a look at the Communication Access training which was set up by RCSLT and partners: https://communication-access.co.uk/ and Understanding communication difficulties in the justice system core modules https://www.rcsltcpd.org.uk/courses/understanding-communication-difficulties-in-the-justice-system-core-modules/


    The paper is:

    'Meta-analysis reveals low language capacity in childhood is associated with mental health problems in adulthood’

    In this episode we chat with Dr Claire Mills about her PhD paper 'Worth a try or a last resort: Healthcare professionals’ experiences and opinions of above cuff vocalisation'.

    Above Cuff Vocalisation (ACV) is a technique that allows patients with a cuffed tracheostomy tube to speak. A recent systematic review highlighted the limited evidence available for the acceptability, effectiveness, safety or optimal implementation of ACV.

    Dr Mills set out to explore the experience of healthcare professionals (HCPs) using ACV and their perceptions of best practice.

    Dr Mills is Adult Clinical Lead Speech and Language Therapist—specialising in critical care—at the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals, part of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, London.

    This research was funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) as part of an HEE/NIHR ICA Programme.

    In this podcast we chat with Hannah Waine and Sally Bates about their research which looks at how UK speech and language therapists assess children’s expressive language, in particular looking at whether their practices reflect recommendations from the CATALISE consensus statements (published 2016/17). (CATALISE redefined Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and emphasised the importance of assessing functional impairment and real‑life impact, not just test scores.)

    The paper is:

    UK speech and language therapists’ assessment of children's expressive language, and functional impairment and impact, following the CATALISE publications

    In this podcast we chat with Loretta Gasparini about the research she led on finding a robust predictor tool for persistent language disorders. The aim of this research is to identify young children who are likely to have persisting language difficulties, so that we can recruit them into research, build a strong evidence base and ultimately support them to thrive.


    The paper is:

    • Challenges disabled SLTs and SLT students face in the workplace;
    • Impact of ableism;
    • How colleagues can engage;
    • Value their disabilities bring to the profession.
