Delivering a DLD diagnosis using the SPICES Framework
Have you ever wondered if there is an evidence-based way to effectively disclose a diagnosis of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)? Well, there is! Dr Jeanne Tighe and Dr Mahchid Namazi’s SPICES framework provides a fantastic guide featuring six steps on how to disclose a diagnosis of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) to caregivers. According to Dr Tighe “Terms have power. Sharing a clear diagnosis with a family, it is a gift, it is a tool. Parents and Carers want to know a diagnostic term for their child’s difficulties.” In this VLOG, the amazing Dr Jeanne Tighe walks us through the SPICES model.
