We treated our nurses and clinical workers to an ice surprise this afternoon 🍦 Huge thanks to @MantioIceCream for helping to put smiles on our nurses faces!😄😍 #InternationalNursesDay2022
Amazing day shadowing @AlexandraLCo and gaining an insight into the exciting and fast paced world of Neonatal SLT as well as meeting other AHPs and discovering more about how the team work together in the best interest of patients and families. Thank you Alex! ⭐️
#mySLTday lovely joint MDT session with play therapy! Sensory dinosaur play with “crunchy” textures alongside oral trials of #IDDSI transitional texture Wotsits @Childrens_Trust
Young people at The Children's Trust organised a brilliant indoor football match yesterday! The children all enjoyed some sporting fun (and a bit of healthy rivalry!) but the match also helped them communicate in a group setting while working on their rehabilitation goals.
Fantastic lunchtime trip to McDonalds with the older Maple CYP. Great practice for recalling learnt information (our orders!), voice work on volume & pace and confidence building in new environments. As well as @beccyslt and her young person using their AAC to order!
For #AACawarenessmonth we held a cake stall where CYP, families and staff ordered with #AAC. Cakes decorated by our CYP on Maple using their AAC and switch adapted mixer! A huge success and we are hoping to turn this into a regular tuck shop! @Childrens_Trust
Yesterday @HannahF91014121 and I took our CYP bowling. Lots of opportunity for #AAC modelling (mostly ‘I think it’s…’ > ‘bad’ for our #SLT bowling skills!!) and supporting communication #participation. Very glad we get to do these fun things together! 🥰
@kimberleyone162@Telegraph@guardian I agree how disgusting and misleading. Poor parents who may feel “guilty” if their child receives a diagnosis of ASD rather than supported and empowered.
Disgusted by the @Telegraph and misleading headlines suggesting a “cure” for Autism Spectrum Disorder. Totally misleading compared to the @guardian headline suggesting therapeutic management and early support for parents…
Lockdown: 'Children behind in speech and understanding' Interesting news article highlighting the devastating impact Covid has had on speech, language and social communication. @ICANcharity https://t.co/uUlOnxlp2N
