Decided to bite the bullet and apply for somewhere I had a placement with that I loved, assuming I wouldn’t hear anything for a while.
Introductory call arranged an hour and a half later.

Nerves? Yes. Imposter syndrome? Absolutely!

Need you all to cross your fingers for me 🫣

What an absolute pleasure it has been for our #RCSLTOutcomes team to be involved in this #SLT2b placement over the last two weeks 🤩

Look out in Bulletin later in the year for the students' article about how members can #useROOT in relation to health inequalities 📖

I've compiled a list of common questions I get asked.

What's wrong with Social Skills Training? What's the alternative to #PECS? Why is diagnosing #Autistic children with Language Disorder problematic? Why is ToM research flawed?

Second year exams over 😮‍💨,
now for a little rest before the @RCSLT @RCSLTLearn virtual leadership placement!

There were 0% cases of #disability benefit fraud in the year to 2024 - 0% PIP, 0.1% DLA, 0.1% health component of UC. Why are government 'cracking down on disability fraud' again?

The names of the 15,000+ Palestinian children murdered by Israel in Gaza.

The first 35 seconds are the names of those under 1 year old. Babies and toddlers.

This video is 7 minutes long.

Read that again.

This is a holocaust.

'You cannot scare people into good health, and you cannot force people into inaccessible jobs.'
@RishiSunak is asked to explain his 'onslaught' on disability rights, in a letter signed by more than 25 disabled people’s organisations and allies.

Where is it written that disabled people should be content with and grateful for less access, fewer rights and less justice than anyone else?

School staff: Make sure there are digital clocks in all the rooms you are using for exams.
Students with dyscalculia (and there will be some even if you don't know who they are) will likely have difficulty reading an analogue clock and will be disadvantaged in exam timings.

[SLT_Emma @EmmaC_SLT]

PIP assessments are already long, strenuous, confusing and humiliating. People often have to appeal the decision.

And politicians want to change the output, not the process, for a benefit they don’t even understand.

Changing it to vouchers will be a death sentence for many.
