9 September 2026 — review status and article content
We replaced placeholder reviewer credits with a transparent description of the general practitioner (GP) who has been involved in reviewing the site since development began. His name is withheld at his request. We distinguish this ongoing involvement from individual article review dates, which are not currently published. Content dates describe editorial updates.
We also corrected the article renderer, which could shorten the first paragraph of a section and omit its remaining sentences. Full paragraphs and their source links are now retained.
9 September 2026 — communication guidance and references
The picture communication guide previously suggested mastering a few cards before adding more. The guidance now makes clear that a small printable set is not a prerequisite or a vocabulary limit. Direct ASHA references and a new AAC guide explain access to communication support.
The signs, first-steps and assessment waiting list guides labelled NICE CG170 as diagnosis guidance. The reference now points to CG128, which covers recognition, referral and diagnosis.
