A 15-year-old girl, Scarlett, talks to @BBCNews about having selective mutism, a severe anxiety disorder which leaves her unable to speak in certain situations. RCSLT advisor Anita McKiernan @sltsolutions was also interviewed for the piece https://t.co/nLXQ4or0gr

For people with DLD, diagnosis changes everything.
But diagnosing Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) requires skill. That's why have FREE resources on our website, but also a specialist network for members. https://t.co/BOs3YWzoUU #DLDday #DevLangDis

Today I turn 27 YEARS OLD. Which means 11 YEARS AGO I was on Educating Yorkshire. I am so fortunate to live life sharing the power of teachers. I am proud to be someone who stammers, something one teacher helped me to accept in the classroom. Thank you to everyone for the continuous support #EducatingYorlshire #PowerOfTeaching #ThankYou

There are only approx 18.3k SALTs in the UK. Unknown what % paeds working with this pop but there’s not enough of us.

#naplic22 listening to Claire Hoyle’s great account of her daughter’s language development. Gestalt language learning needs wider understanding and value

This resonates with me so much and I try to live and work by this every day. Something you’ve experienced 1000 times before is likely a once-in-a-lifetime experience for your patient. Acknowledge and respect that 💙
