Early life and education

Bishop was born on 14 February 1952. In 1973, she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with Honours in Experimental Psychology from St Hugh's College, University of Oxford.Dorothy Bishop's {{ORCID|0000-0002-2448-4033}} In 1975, she completed her Master of Philosophy in Clinical Psychology at the University of London.

After her MPhil, she returned to Oxford to work with Freda Newcombe at the Neuropsychology Unit in Radcliffe Infirmary. The careful direction provided by Newcombe steered Bishop towards cases of children with developmental language disorders. This direction launched her career as a developmental neuropsychologist.

Children's Communication Checklist

In 1998, Bishop created what she called the Children's Communication Checklist (CCC).JOURNAL, Bishop, Dorothy VM, 1998, Development of the children's communication checklist (ccc): a method for assessing qualitative aspects of communicative impairment in children, 9758196, 10.1111/1469-7610.00388, The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, and Allied Disciplines, 39, 6, 879–891, The goal of the CCC was to help diagnose children who did not have an apparent reason for communication errors. The CCC specifically looked to identify pragmatic language and specific language impairments. The CCC allowed Bishop and other researchers to reliably identify language impairments but give clues to other potential disorders which may not have been apparent such as high functioning autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or Williams syndrome.JOURNAL, Chuthapisith, Jariya, Taycharpipranai, Pasinee, Roongpraiwan, Rawiwan, Ruangdaraganon, Nichara, 2014-02-01, Translation and validation of the Children's Communication Checklist to evaluate pragmatic language impairment in Thai children, Pediatrics International, en, 56, 1, 31–34, 10.1111/ped.12216, 24003938, 23897615, 1442-200X, A second, updated, edition of the CCC was released in 2001.

CATALISE

When Bishop began her studies of cognitive disorders, research to language development was relatively limited. Though more research has been conducted, there is not a cohesive framework of research for specialists to rely on when assessing and diagnosing children with language disorders. In 2016, Bishop began a multiple part Delphi project. In this particular project, Bishop is attempting to define a set criteria for identifying children who may need intervention through a multinational and multidiscipline study.JOURNAL, Bishop, D. V. M., Snowling, Margaret J., Thompson, Paul A., Greenhalgh, Trisha, Consortium, Catalise, 2016, CATALISE: A Multinational and Multidisciplinary Delphi Consensus Study. Identifying Language Impairments in Children, PLOS One, 11, 7, e0158753, 10.1371/journal.pone.0158753, 1932-6203, 4938414, 27392128, 2016PLoSO..1158753B, free, {{open access}} In the first phase of this study, 59 experts of various fields such as education, speech-language therapy, and pediatrics from different countries such New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and United States of America participated in this study to provide a range of expertise and experience. The researchers submitted findings to a panel who agreed with an 80% consensus. In phase two of this project, similar parameters were followed to determine what terminology should be accepted in studies and treatment.

RADLD

Because of her intense study of children's language impairments, Bishop co-founded RADLD (formerly known as RALLI).WEB, Founders - RADLD,weblink 15 February 2024, RADLD is an international advocacy organisation, with a mission statement to "foster a substantial increase in international awareness of DLD".WEB, About - RADLD,weblink 15 February 2024, Its committee comprises members from the UK, USA, Canada, China and Australia.
