Please sign the petition to give BSL recognition in Scotland’s Education Law 🫶🏻 #slt

[National Deaf Children's Society @NDCS_UK]

Deaf young people shouldn’t have to fight for access to education – but Niamdh did.

She won a legal battle for a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter in school. Now, she’s calling for BSL to be added to Scotland’s education law.

If you live in Scotland, sign our petition to give BSL the recognition it deserves in Scotland's schools https://t.co/pnbR8PvTJj

It’s me, talking about one of my favourite language strategies 🫶🏻

[Aberdeen Children's Speech & Language Therapy @paedsaslt]

Today is Fun-filled Friday!
'Ready steady go’ 🏃‍♂️

Pause after ‘ready, steady...’ (up to 10 secs) then say 'go!' If your child doesn't join in, continue playing and keep pausing to encourage communication.

Involve your child when you are cooking or baking. They can watch what you are doing, decorate cakes or buns, or you can ask them to help you pour, fill, measure, stir! Have a look at this post to see how this can help your child’s language skills. See comments @NHSGrampian #slt

Blowing bubbles is a fun activity for the whole family. Children love bubbles so they are a great way to play together and support language development. Try saying: “Bubbles!” “Blow!” “Pop pop pop!” “More bubbles?” “Again.” “Daddy’s turn/your turn.” See comments.

Imposter syndrome has been creeping in a lot recently but on the plus side, I’ve officially given my first diagnosis of #DLD and it felt so good as this will hopefully open up extra opportunities for learning and support for this child 💛💜
