REMINDER: HOUSE KEEPING
IDLDRC is a completely virtual event. Conference content for each day has been built as a ‘course’ of presentations (lessons) for delegates to work through daily. Therefore, each new day of the conference you will need to head back to the conference dashboard and click into the relevant ‘course’ for that date.
Each day at 9am Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), the day’s presentations will be released to the IDLDRC online learning platform as follows:
Day 1 Launch – Monday 11 Sept 2023, 9am AEST
Day 2 Launch – Tuesday 12 Sept 2023, 9am AEST
Day 3 Launch – Wednesday 13 Sept 2023, 9am AEST

BRIDGING RESEARCH AND PRACTICE FOR DEVELOPMENTAL LANGUAGE DISORDER: LESSONS FROM IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE
ABSTRACT
There is an immense gap between what we know from research and what happens in educational and clinical practice, leading to delays and inefficiencies in service delivery, inequities, and poor outcomes in people with developmental language disorder. Implementation science aims to address this gap by promoting the systematic uptake of evidence-based practices in routine settings.
My keynote presentation will focus on important lessons from implementation science, such as designing research studies with implementation in mind, understanding educational and clinical contexts, and building capacity for local ownership. Implementation science holds great promise for transforming systems worldwide and supporting access to services that meet the needs and expectations of people with Developmental Language Disorder.
