Today we're thinking about learning to say new speech sounds. This is a tricky process & takes lots of time & practice - even naturally developing sounds may be used in some words but not all for a while. Some of the steps it takes are shown here #sltfv #ChattyTuesday

For the next few weeks we're thinking about Selective Mutism.
This is a rare anxiety disorder where people are able to speak , but find that they cannot in certain situations. It’s not about being ‘shy’ and it's not about making a choice to communicate.

The number of five and six year olds who need speech and language support at school has risen by 10% in England over the past year, BBC analysis shows. @RCSLT Chief Exec @KGadhok interviewed here and on @BBCr4today this morning @Nick_Hewer @SeanPert https://t.co/1OyouF8zGS

@NurseryClackPs @slt_fv @MakatonCharity What a super signer! Keep up the good work! 😊

[NHS Forth Valley Speech & Language Therapy @slt_fv]

When we think about using AAC & signs as a way to communicate, we often think about specific systems. But in reality, we all use a bit of signing without even realising, so today lets think about all the natural gestures we use every day #sltfv #ChattyTuesday #ShowYourVoice

[NAPLIC @NAPLIC]

Blown away by the new @SpeechAndLangUK video about Developmental Language Disorder. Please watch and share with every teacher you know.

#RADLD #DLDAwarenessDay

[NHS Forth Valley Speech & Language Therapy @slt_fv]

DLD affects 1 in 14 people. That’s around two children in every classroom. We want to raise awareness of DLD across education settings this #DLDday

[NHS Forth Valley Speech & Language Therapy @slt_fv]

Today we're thinking about another common objects we can use to support interactions and language.
Foil blankets might be most used by runners, but they can offer great sensory and exploratory play together. Makaton signs to go with this topic up next! #ChattyTuesday #sltfv

[NHS Forth Valley Speech & Language Therapy @slt_fv]

We know that signs can support communication and help make the play more fun, so here's Linda to share the ones you need to accessorise your foil blanket! #sltfv #ChattyTuesday

[RADLDcampaign @RADLDcam]

This is the 2022 sequel to our 2021 DLD bubble....Do you use any of these strategies to support people with DLD? @RADLDcam #DLDday Oct 14 is the day!

[NHS Forth Valley Speech & Language Therapy @slt_fv]

Today we're talking about labelling emotions to help children identify/understand their feelings while we're having #AfterSchoolConversations. Use the words that are right for your child: do you say cross, angry, mad, annoyed, fed up? 😃 😞 😡 😊 #sltfv

[Clackmannan PS ELC @NurseryClackPs]

We are learning Makaton. As part of our settling in process and the transition period for our returners and new starts, we are welcoming them with a big Hello. @MakatonCharity @slt_fv @Aisling_SLT
