Phenomenal (ology) presentation by @MeredithAllan and @BronwynHemsley on lived experience of dysphagia and PEG placement. We must moved beyond the biomedical model and accept that people are the experts in their own life!#SPAConf

Proud of our efforts today! @HannahMckerral and I presented the speech pathology podcast, The Up & Coming Speechies at the Speech Path Aus conference.
The podcast was established during the pandemic to support & inform SP students. #SPAConf

We need to take accountability of the inherent privilege we hold as a predominantly white, female, middle class, neurotypical, cisgendered profession. How might our unconscious bias inhibit our ability to support clients and how does it impact our professional identity? #SPAconf

The #NDIS is far from being a panacea for people who have had a stroke. #SPAConf @rose_mirandaros

SPs have a much bigger role to play to support and enable community participation and inclusion for PWA, carer and family education and meet the psychosocial needs of PWA. #SPAConf

Thrilled to be at my first SPA conference! #spaconf
