@Jeanne1Gallee@volkmer_anna@s_m_grasso@McG_Ellen@MonicaIKK @BarbaraCBeber @isftd So wonderful to see this published - thanks Jeanne! I am optimistic that this work will inform the creation of some excellent professional development opportunities in the PPA field. I love the international perspectives and ideas it offers!
Our international survey, representing 186 voices from 27 countries, on the educational and clinical needs of SLT/Ps working with people living with PPA is out! @IntSLTPPPA We outline training gaps and reveal concrete resources for the future workforce. https://t.co/rS2DARAtkv
@SpeechieKiwi@voon_pang Ah kindness and connection - two of the most important things ☺️ (such a small speechie world!) You were a star Voon - that shone through even if you were feeling a few nerves! Wonderful to hear your advocacy work is going well.
Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed by tackling 14 risk factors starting in childhood, including two new risks—high cholesterol and vision loss, suggests new report from the Lancet Commission on dementia.

@aphasiologist1 Thanks Linda - we still use your audit tool to evaluate participation and the physical and social communication environment of the residence. Always great to show what an enriched communication environment offers! Definitely takes a team approach!
Change is possible 💫 Thanks to all who watched #MaggieBeersBigMission. A passion project with substance that shows the important role our profession can play in aged care - and so much more! Great to reflect on learnings & next steps with Nat. Now to publish the findings...
We’re excited to have our colleagues Natalie O’Brien and Associate Professor Jade Cartwright, who were part of the production of Maggie Beer’s Big Mission, join us in this week’s #SpeakUpPod. Hear their insights: https://t.co/hvHQGaeNSP
@NatalieMunro3@Suze_Freogirl@ABCTV@SpeechPathAus Oh thank you Nat. We are hearing so many responses like this from families - wonderful it is resonating. All of my most treasured memories centre around the family dinner table. The joy and connection that can come from good food and good company! You'll love episode 2!!!
@McG_Ellen@volkmer_anna@IARC2024 @deborahhersh @InsightTimer It's a sign Ellen, and I totally agree Anna! What a great set of principles for practice. Hope the conference is going brilliantly - beautiful space for learning, listening and reflecting in!!
Our article on how to apply the RAISE Assessment Framework for Primary Progressive Aphasia to support the use of common practice assessments is out now! Another wonderful collaboration with @JadeCartwright@volkmer_anna @deborahhersh @AnneWhitworth1 !
