@TomFletcher @brenda_edwards my 6 year old has been singing Rhythm of London on repeat since we saw Paddington last week! It was magical & fully deserving of all the 5* reviews. We can’t wait for the album to be released in March (mostly so he can learn the rest of the song!!).

How wonderful to see the work of previous colleagues being celebrated- a huge well done to all of the team (and you all look so glamorous!) 👏

@OpenAirTheatre It was fantastic! Thank you so much to the whole team. Is the soundtrack available to download?

A bit late to the post but I think our smiles show our feelings best! #slttobe do you recognise your HEI staff?

[Nicki Witkin @HCPtherapy]

and always a pleasure to catch up with colleagues and friends @MaryHeritage @DharineeHansjee @GovenderRoganie and Irma Donaldson. Plus I got slightly starstruck meeting @dellamoney (of Money and Thurman (1994) ‘Means, Reasons and Opportunities’ fame!!!)…2/2

What an incredible morning celebrating @RCSLT’s 80th birthday at Southwark Cathedral & an honour to represent the new BSc (Hons) Speech & Language Therapy Degree Apprenticeship @UniofHerts. So uplifting and inspiring to hear from icons in our profession 1/2

@ClinAcSLT @PsychologyPress @RCSLT @RCSLTResearch @tandfpsychology Hello! Thanks for replying. I am actually teaching on the new undergrad SLT apprenticeship course at the University of Hertfordshire so we are trying to source our own copy. Wondering if it’s now out of print though?

[Nicki Witkin @HCPtherapy]

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a PALPA (Psycholinguistic Assessments of Language Processing Abilities) for teaching purposes? Used to be published by @PsychologyPress I think? @RCSLT @RCSLTResearch @ClinAcSLT @tandfpsychology can you help?

[Nicki Witkin @HCPtherapy]

@LucyBenjaminSLT just on a training and you were quoted! It has been too long since we caught up x

[Nicki Witkin @HCPtherapy]

I’ve finally opened a Blueksky account. To those I’m following on here, do you have one too? @RCSLT @RCSLTResearch @ijlcd @ClinAcSLT I couldn’t see you yet?

@newbalance I don’t understand how you can decline an inquiry without explaining why?! Surely kids shoes that have only been worn a couple of times a week for 3-4 months should be better made? Telling me you just don’t want to answer my query is unacceptable.#poor service

@nickcope4 we’re looking forward to seeing you at Leicester Square next Sunday afternoon. Can we request ‘The Polar Bear and the Honeybee’ and ‘Little Grey Cloud’ for Ollie & Kai (who listen to you lots on the way home from school)? Thanks!

The DLD diagnostics toolbox by @larchiba6 is such a fantastic resource. If you assess children's language, you should read it.

It's so practical, recognises the nuances & complexities & discusses wording you can out in reports that recognises that.

[Nicki Witkin @HCPtherapy]

@SmartTalkers thank you so much for your #slt #cpd today on #GestaltLanguageProcessing: it has been on my CPD list for a while and I wish I had done it earlier! Bring on the follow up workshop! Thank you

@RCSLT @RCSLTResearch I’m sure I saw an article recently about the validity of the communication pyramid…could you point me in the direction of it? Thank you!
