And today was different because my ‘disability’ (I never use this word) but being deaf gave me instant access and understanding into her world and symptoms. I think I need to find a way of using sign more in future. /5 #Deafspeechie #holistic #mySLTday #signspokenEnglish

[Charlotte Tracey @Charlottextrace]

A bit of a personal post but today was a day of firsts. I used sign language at work during a swallowing assessment and the pt’s face just lit up when I introduced myself. “You sign? You’re deaf?” & she made the biggest grin. A thread /1

[Charlotte Tracey @Charlottextrace]

I also couldn’t help but come up with a different idea of how this lady could communicate with her carers, who don’t sign … using what I know from the degree and my own experiences. That feeling knowing I made a real difference for someone is like no other. /4

Recently attended NHS England’s Regional Specialised Rehab Conference. A fab day’s learning. Shout-out to @LeicesterNRU @UHLBIU for their inspiring presentations at the Regional Specialised Rehabilitation Conference. “Team work makes the Rehab work”. Proud is an understatement 👏

Loved getting into #stoneycove as the sun went down with @Charlottextrace this eve #openwater #swimming #SummerVibes #leicestershire

[Charlotte Tracey @Charlottextrace]

It involved adapting assessments to not discriminate against her blindness / thinking out the box to enable access to therapy for severe dyspraxia. We didn’t give up and found a consistent means of functional and personal communication. An incredible pt & journey I’m proud of.

[Charlotte Tracey @Charlottextrace]

Some pts I’ll remember forever and this is one. I didn’t fully realise the extent our impact had on this pt, until we said goodbye & pt / family cry. We were realistic from the start, therapy is long and tough with family unsure they’d ever converse again. See below. THREAD 1

[Charlotte Tracey @Charlottextrace]

It took over 6 months of practice, determination and perseverance by the pt and family, smashing expectations. We couldn’t have done it without our fabulous assistant @alievie14 thank you 🌟#teamworkmakesthedreamwork #communitySALT
