Gave both of my students some treats from @HafsaMSLT to remind them that it’s not about the grades or exams. It’s about helping everyone have a voice and communicate in their own way. And glitter. It’s also about glitter. #mySLTday#joytoworkwith#goodluckteam
Communication board up at our local football club 👏
Not only have the children been using but the coach was able to communicate with a family from Hong Kong new to the area.
They signed their son up 👏

I’ve had one of those lovely weeks when I’ve seen the theory that AAC promotes speech in practice… a child saying her first words (“more”- after seeing it modelled repeatedly) and another using full sentences! But what’s most important is all communication is equally valid #AAC
Seeing a child’s journey as their communication becomes more confident, whatever that may look like for them, will never stop being a true joy. #mySLTday#speechies#slp

Just got to hear about how today isn’t Friday it’s “FriYAY” because it’s school disco day. Outstanding. We’re talking pizza, hot dogs, disco and Disney. As if this is my job. #mySLTday
A while ago, I got my @JuliaSesame doll an AAC device from @TheButterflyPig.
It's adorable, but has only 6 words, far from the 12000 in Proloquo (by @AssistiveWare).
As a fierce AAC advocate, I knew I had to presume competence and find her a more robust system. (1/4)
LAUNCHED! 🎉🎉🎉

Wonderful week so far with our student. Such a pleasure to share how broad and rewarding or role can be. A little one refused to leave because we had such fun games! #aac#mysltday#slt2be
Wonderful work week with super student and great opportunity for supervision and team catch ups. Coffee, corgi and sunshine all added bonuses. #mySLTday
"To me, the NHS is a hope, an image of how we can be as a society, a blueprint of how we can behave together for good"
Today feels like an important day to share this, from @MichaelRosenYes 💙
“Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay, nor an offence for which they should be penalised, but a misfortune, the cost of which should be shared by the community.”
- Nye Bevan
Please RT if you believe the NHS is worth fighting for 💙
Today at work someone said I looked like a mermaid because I was so shiny. Feeling great about my decisions, both job wise and sartorial. #mySLTday#mermazing
