Surreal to see my name & new job title on this planner, personalised with some of the people that have given me the confidence to believe & achieve. Roll on September when I start my new job as a Speech & Language Therapist in a secondary school 🥰 #papierpals @PapierUK

I realised the importance of ‘letting my hair down’ and finding the balance of work/play. Seeing Linkin Park with family and friends was just what I needed before knuckling down and finding a job 🙌🏻

I have huge appreciation for my colleague/tutor Helen for inviting me to co-present with her today @EdEqServices. Thank you for allowing space for my voice and opinions 🙌🏻

[Sam Cobbing @SPC_SaLT]

I was incredibly privileged to speak at the @EdEqServices conference today alongside the inspiring Jason Arday. I championed the value of socioeconomic diversity within professional roles, not just our patients and the benefits of leadership placements. Amazing day 🤩

That’s my 3rd and final year clinical placement done. I was honoured to work with an amazing placement educator in the criminal justice system and I learned so much. I was also very lucky to receive such thoughtful gifts from her. Next stop, find a job!

“Any person is still a human being. No one should be treated differently because of their ethnicity. Skin colour doesn’t mean you matter less.” I feel like the proudest Mum in the world right now. 💕 (2/2)

When I spoke to the kids about the disgraceful racism that’s currently occurring in the UK, Tobias (9 y.o) designed anti-racism bracelets to show that we stand against it. Tobias’ own word are in the next tweet….(1/2)

My 9 year old son is walking 100 miles over the summer holidays to raise funds for his volunteer run basketball team 💪🏻🏀 He has completed just over 13 miles so far this week! Please consider donating if you can.

An incredibly validating day spent at @RCSLT with discussions surrounding equality, diversity and inclusion. It was a privilege to be a part of the day and I felt that my opinions and contributions were valued just as much as someone who’s been in practice for many years.

@SarahMillican75 loved the show tonight! I also cannot ride a bike but drive a car, good to know there’s more of my kind around 😂. Love from a fellow late bloomer 🙌🏻

[Sam Cobbing @SPC_SaLT]

@Claire_R123 Even this little clip gave me goosebumps. I’ll set this to record, it looks great, but it will definitely be a difficult watch!

[Sam Cobbing @SPC_SaLT]

@SillsKaty Still a traitor 😜 I’m glad to hear it’s going well though.

[Sam Cobbing @SPC_SaLT]

I was lucky enough to experience a thoroughly ND affirmative lecture by @evaldezOT and her colleague Tanya yesterday. It gives me hope that the tide is turning and that there’s other people out there advocating for ND individuals 🤘🏻

[Elisa Valdez @evaldezOT]

Happy #OTWeek2023! It was a honour to be invited to talk about #OccupationalTherapy and our experience in collaborative working to #SLT students @MedwaySLT. We definitely talked about our occupations ✅ @SAPHP_CCCU @CCCUOT @theRCOT

[Sam Cobbing @SPC_SaLT]

Why is it that people have to fight for a disabled child’s autonomy over their own body just because they can’t verbalise the word ‘no’. This makes my heart hurt, but I will keep up raising the awareness of such awful things and fight for rights for people who are ignored.

[Sam Cobbing @SPC_SaLT]

This makes me want to move back to Scotland. At the weekend I was working w/a 6yr old. I was instructed to use hand over hand so they could match a picture. I said “no, they don’t like it when people do that” I was told it didn’t matter and I had to do it anyway (I didn’t)…(1/2)

[AMASE @AMASEdin]

The motion passed at this weekend's @scottishgreens conference correctly cites UNCRPD principles of autonomy, dignity, and the right to freedom from non-consensual or degrading treatment as grounds for a comprehensive ban on behaviour

Thankfully passed my @LSVTGlobal exam today 🥳 it’s a great course and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who may be considering signing up.

[Sam Cobbing @SPC_SaLT]

@VLangrish @EddieLangrish @MedwaySLT @UniofGreenwich @RCSLT Amazing 🥳

[Sam Cobbing @SPC_SaLT]

@SamBriggsSLT @qvh Hi Sam. I’d love to chat to you about this. I don’t have an option to DM you though. Do you have an email I can contact you on? Thanks.

[Sam Cobbing @SPC_SaLT]

Life goal achieved. Seeing @welovepulp. What a fantastic day 🤩
