1/14 The @RCSLT are updating the #Autism Guidance due out in September. As part of the public consultation #SLTs #ActuallyAutistic professionals & allies wrote to the RCSLT with their concerns. The letter & RCSLT response at https://t.co/1oaJ8crE5n @KieranRose7

Im proud to work for the #NHS75 but bcause my employer is an NHS provider &not a trust (bcause they didn't even bid for the contract 7 yrs ago) I dont get the pay deal bonus. I don't understand why that isn't being talked about in the media?! We've been totally screwed! #mysltday

[Alice McCarron (she/her) @AlicetheOT]

Cannot believe what I've just read - a fellow health professional disclosed on registering with the @The_HCPC that they were autistic only to be hit with 'Fitness to Practice concerns' 😡 Would love to hear how the HCPC can justify this (and still take ££ from many autistic HCPs)

"With one in four NHS speech therapist jobs now vacant & speech delay on the rise, many parents are waiting years to access the support their child needs," reports @GraziaUK: https://t.co/hcD6iAjas5 @Nick_Hewer @SeanPert @IrmaDonaldson19 @SteveJamieson12

Ooh I need to adapt the ones we have! Great idea!

I gave my Go Talk a wee upgrade using The AAC for All's flip top printable - download for free here:https://t.co/WLTHAla3PZ
I saw my colleague add a note on the back of hers as a reminder of what's on each level so I've added a laminated bit of paper as well. #AAC #Augcomm

I'm guilty of suggesting sabotage as a strategy a few years back but when you know better, you do better. The NHS has a long way to go!

[Hannah Simkins @HanSimo26]

Finally getting some dysphagia shadowing going. Really interesting session today. Any good #dysphagia #slt to follow? Especially paeds & LD??!

[Emily Price (she/her) @EmilioLees]

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?
