It was a real privilege to have been asked to present yesterday on life as an NQP in @NHSGrampian. It’s always great to be able to meet new #SLT’s and learn more about the positive impact we are making across Grampian with different client groups. Feeling very inspired! #mysltday

Delighted that @NHSGrampian were involved in sharing the impact of the pandemic on children’s speech, language and communication needs on STV news. It’s so important that we continue to raise awareness around the need for further funding for NHS Speech & Language Therapy services

[RCSLT Scotland @rcsltscot]

Check out this excellent @STVNews piece featuring @Glennetal and @Justine_SLTABZ. Talking to @brandoncookSTV about the impact of the pandemic on children’s spoken language.

🌟🌟 Bulletin column @SeanPert (@rcslt chair) re "short-sighted rationing, such as 6wk block".

"No researcher has suggested extremely low interventions are effective"

Calls for leaders to "make evidence-based treatment intensity a core pillar of your team's practice".

👏👏

One of our amazing #SLT colleagues asked for Marischal College in Aberdeen to be lit up purple & yellow for #DLDday. We celebrated with some drinks & told everyone we could about #DLD. How pretty does it look💜💛 #2in30

"Oh, you're a speech therapist......

What is it you do again?"

Here's a great visual to sum it up!

[RCSLT Scotland @rcsltscot]

Great news for Scotland! @scotgov have committed to invest in early intervention in speech and language. ‘Over the next three years we will invest in a new program of work to support early intervention in speech and language for children and their families.’ #collaboration @RCSLT

Younger children (age 4-5) learned sounds /r/ and /l/ as effectively as older children (age 7-8) suggesting that these traditionally-called "late-acquired" sounds can be considered as treatment targets regardless of a child's chronological age https://t.co/G5ya1JgjTf

@Pamela_SLTNHSG @LisaM_SLT @QMU_SLT @rcsltscot @RCSLT Thank you Pamela. We’re so incredibly lucky to have had so many opportunities already with @NHSGrampian, and to have joined such a talented and welcoming team!

[_annabelrussell @_annarussell1]

After the toughest 2 years and studying during a pandemic, I finally graduated with a distinction in MSc Speech and Language Therapy yesterday. I cannot wait to see what the future holds and am so incredibly proud of all of us for finally getting here! @QMU_SLT #SLT #mySLTday

[Lisa Murray @LisaM_SLT]

We also love some weekend adventures and an ice-cream trip to forest farm 😋 #SLT #mySLTday #sltstudent #studentslt

Working with peads is always such a joy 😍 Me: ‘it’s a special day today, do you know what day it is? I’ll give you a clue, it begins with a /p/ sound’ 5 year old: ‘hmm a /p/. Is it because you brought pop up pirate?’ 😂🙌🏻 #StPatricksDay #mysltday

[_annabelrussell @_annarussell1]

Just heard that a wee boy I’m supporting requested to sing a song to his class today because he’s ‘much better at his sounds now’. This was a child who refused to speak in front of some family members 2 months ago as he was embarrassed. Days like this make it all worthwhile ☺️❤️

[_annabelrussell @_annarussell1]

Me: “now, will you make sure you practice your ‘sn’ sound at home and do the jobs I’ve asked you to do with mum?” 5 y/o: “homework?! But I’m 5!! This better be worth at LEAST 2 stickers next week” 😂😱#mySLTday
