On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) are at increased risk of mental health difficulties. I will discuss evidence that this may be partly because language supports development of emotion recognition and regulation skills, which in turn support mental health. Data are from the Surrey Communication and Language in Education Study (SCALES); a 7-year prospective study of children’s language development. We found that language ability at the start of primary school (age 5-6 years) was related to objective measures of emotion recognition and regulation at the end of primary school (age 10-12 years). I will discuss the implications of these findings for promoting mental health in children and young people with neurodevelopmental conditions that affect language development.
