Really enjoying catching up on the last @DysfluencyCEN study day,in particular @the_communicat on portrayals of stammering in media. Thinking about about media and language my clients, families and network may have seen and how this can affect their perceptions/feelings @stammer
Delighted to announce launch of the Information Autism website https://t.co/t8qed85MyF which replaces the Research Autism site and is designed to provide impartial, scientifically accurate and accessible information on #autism and interventions designed to help #autistic people.
Nursery keyworker of a child I've spent 8 months working with today said 'thank you so much for all your help, I'm so pleased with his progress and I would have felt lost without your support.' 😭❤ It's so nice to get positive feedback! #mySLTday
Hugely disappointed to hear a #speechtherapist on @BBCRadio2 this morning talk about how she doesn't 'talk properly' because she has a regional accent... offensive to the majority of the population, regional accents have no bearing whatsoever on our professional ability! 🙄 #SLT
Anyone else just absolutely ashamed to be British? Not only are we the laughing stock of Europe, over Brexit, our government accepted millions in Russian donations and we are now the country refusing to take refugees from Ukraine. Children fleeing war. Not in my name.
I'm so thrilled to be joining the specialist Dysfluency team at @STSFTrust supporting older children who #stammer and their families. There's so much to learn from my incredible colleagues and I can't wait to start 🙌 #MySLTDay#dysfluency#stammering
My 17yr old daughter just said “if one person dies from a prop gun in a movie set, everyone talks about its safety relentlessly but when kids die from mass shootings in schools, it’s not a big deal. It’s unbelievable💔” - how about no one should die from gun violence?
In my childhood I was always ridiculed for stammering.
I never knew why I was picked on for something I couldn’t control.
Years later, I am immensely proud of having a stammer and you should be too.
Let’s normalise stammering together.
