Covid-19: The speech therapists helping patients find their voices - Great working with @BBCNews on this & big thanks to @camillacdawson & Robert Crowther for sharing your stories. @KGadhok @uhbtrust @Nick_Hewer https://t.co/wSSAiSaIpt
Buzzing tonight, having secured TV coverage on #CommunicationAccess! Huge thanks to @5_News for covering the story & to @elleisa4 & @RCSLT president @nick_hewer for working with our PR team to provide interviews about the new communication disability symbol & training @KGadhok
Look out for this new symbol in shops and businesses. It means staff have been trained in how to interact with people who have difficulties communicating.
@RCSLT is behind the initiative, and its president @Nick_Hewer of Countdown and Apprentice fame, spoke to 5 News about it.
Today is International Stammering Awareness Day!
The way we talk about #stammering is important – that’s why the @RCSLT is proud to endorse the @stammer editorial guidelines around stammering

‘Aphasia steals the carefully constructed identities of all those affected by it’. Quote from @Barabara Shadden. Understanding aphasia is listening to experts who live with aphasia. #aphasia#AphasiaAwareJune@KathyCann1
#AphasiaAwarenessJune We have been responding to the Covid 19 Pandemic by using Remote Video Consultations, Computer Therapy and posting resources to clients whilst they wait for services to open up again. Hoping to begin remote group therapy next month! 🤞 #aphasia#Telemedicine
Effective #aphasia therapists recognise that the dynamic between themselves and the client is a core component to therapy and outcomes.
What techniques do you use to build successful relationships – esp with ppl with severe aphasia? #AphasiaAwareJune@aphasiologist1@KathyCann1

Support groups which involve people with #aphasia are more effective, productive and inclusive when pwa are included in design and presenting, agendas are aphasia friendly and pwa are supported to participate. Well done @RareDementia for making this a priority
