Overwhelmed at the amount of support I’ve got since tweeting about leaving SLT, sorry if I haven’t replied to everyone yet😊 I will definitely be replying to everybody and it is so comforting to know others feel the same! Twitter can make it feel like your the only one! 🥺

A reminder that it’s important to make time for yourself & have some fun! 🎉✨ #mySLTday #sltchat #wespeechies

[Caitlin Addis @CaitlinAddisSLT]

Excited to read about some new findings that can easily be implemented into practice! 😁📚 #mysltday #sltchat

New study! Connected phonation is more effective for teaching beginning decoding than segmented phonation (e.g. saying mmmmmaaaaannnnn vs. mmm - aaa - nnn and then blending). https://t.co/hQ5YXJSdhl

Really thought provoking #SLTAntiRacism event with the @RCSLT. Cultural inquisitiveness is okay, it's better to be actively involved in trying and learning than being silent. Let's open up safe spaces for discussions to work towards anti-racism.

#SLT2B What do you find hardest about delivering assessments during placement? 📚 #wespeechies - if there is more than 1 please feel free to comment 🗣

[Caitlin Addis @CaitlinAddisSLT]

@CerysSLTStudent When you say EBP for every client do you mean looking at the evidence base behind interventions/ approaches? (I agree massively btw - something I’ve struggled with!)

[Caitlin Addis @CaitlinAddisSLT]

#SLT2Bs #wespeechies can you help me with a project I am carrying out at the moment?
How many students are there in your year at university?

[Caitlin Addis @CaitlinAddisSLT]
