[Helen Robinson (she/her) @HelenATSLT]

I'm seeking opinion regarding terminology I will use in the book I'm writing (working with AAC). I'd love to hear from practitioners, AAC users and their families. If you have time to answer 5 questions, I'd be really grateful. Please RT! https://t.co/pX4wlmjl1c

I recently interviewed a group of people with #LearningDisabilities for a new book. They all voted on ‘distress’ or ‘signs of distress’ to replace ‘challenging behaviour’ or ‘behaviour that challenges’ They said the reason I self injure or hit someone is because I’m distressed

@ianlawson1955 @BBC Why employ a BSL interpreter for one hearing impaired person, but fail to make the entire interview accessible to all hearing impaired viewers??? 😡

[Ian Lawson @ianlawson1955]

Shame on the @BBC for ignoring the country's hearing impaired community for not enabling us all to see the BSL ìntrepreter when interviewing Rose Aling-Ellis on the Platinum Party at the Palace ! Totally unacceptable !

A short thread /3
Last few days the news has been full of #Socialcare but little talk of younger or disabled people, community & a positive vision for change. Members have a clear vision for change captured in this graphic by @MendoncaPen as part of contribution to @socfuture

Because this is SUCH an important message my social bubble buddy and mum: #MamaKhan has agreed to help me spread this vital message

She is here to translate my words into Urdu and reassure communities about the Covid vaccines

Please RT to spread the word

@parcelforce I have received a text saying it will be delivered today (5 days after being collected). Not great for a “next day delivery” service! 😡

[Rachel George 💙 @RachelGeorgeSLT]

@parcelforce When I booked next day delivery on Thursday I assumed my parcel would be delivered on Friday. Tracking shows it has been in a local depot since early Friday morning and it is still there. When should I expect it to be delivered?
