[MS Society UK @mssocietyuk]

This MS Awareness Week, we want to encourage people to #MSThinkAgain. 🧡

It can be hard to challenge misconceptions. You might feel uncomfortable and not know what to say when others assume things about you.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a lifelong condition that affects the brain and spinal cord.

There are lots of possible symptoms of MS. Everyone with this condition is affected differently.

Thanks to @HIOWH_NHSFT, @UWEBristol, @ijlcd and the clinical team who completed and shared this research 🙏

[Speech and Language Therapy BCHC @BCHC_SLT]

Journal club today at #childBCHC 📝

The study we discussed compared the impact of parent-based intervention on young children with speech, language and communication needs.

It sparked reflection on our own practice and how we as SLTs can support parents of children with SLCN!

[Speech and Language Therapy BCHC @BCHC_SLT]

Some of our #ChildSLT team attended a Lego Therapy workshop today and had some fun building lego and learning how we can use this tool to support SLCN 🗣️
