The Government of Castilla-La Mancha supports the ATELCU association in organizing the tenth edition of the International Congress "Growing with SLI/DLD". This event, focused on Developmental Language Disorder, aims to be a meeting point for families, professionals, and affected individuals. The goal is to share experiences and advancements, reflecting the region's commitment to inclusion and improving quality of life.
Digital tools and learning environments for language development 💻
In the technical field, the congress will likely address the development of specialized software and accessible digital environments. Platforms with adapted natural language processing, applications for phonetic exercises, and augmentative communication systems are areas of interest. Integrating these tools into educational and therapeutic contexts requires a design focused on usability and adaptability to different profiles within DLD.
When autocorrect is your worst enemy and your best therapy 😅
Imagine the frustration of trying to write a message with DLD while your phone, with blind faith in the dictionary, systematically changes every word to another that makes no sense. It's like having an assistant who doesn't understand you but insists on correcting you. Perhaps in the future, instead of fighting it, we can train that autocorrect to learn our patterns and become the first step in unconventional digital therapy.
