Love this! Great that it includes savoury snacks as well as they can be much more difficult to suggest.

Colin's stroke resulted in #aphasia, a language and communication disorder. Many people with aphasia will have difficulties with understanding speech, speaking, reading, writing and numeracy issues. Here are his top tips for having a conversation with someone who has Aphasia👇🧵

Steve, Tom and Julie were left with aphasia after their strokes.

@SallyB_SLT I find the impairment descriptors in the dysphagia TOMs helpful for classifying severity 😊.

[Stephen Unwin @RoseUnwin]

Not everyone with learning disabilities is autistic and not all autistic people have learning disabilities.

Thank you.

[Alanah Gorman (she/her) @AlanahG_SLT]

I ask myself this all the time👏👏

[Gemma SLT @GemmaLouiseWhi2]

Why are people with learning disabilities still not seen as equal members of society? It frustrates me so much that banks, cafes and shops don’t have easy read information or strategies in place to support these beautiful unique people!! Why is this? @RCSLT @rcslt_bulletin #ALD
