Any #SLPeeps in stroke rehab seen dysfluent-like blocking and/or (?cognitive) initiation difficulties as the primary communication impairment post-right MCA infarct? Looking for top tips!

@SaltWalton Glam! How's tricks?

[Tasmin Wade @tasminwade_SLT]

The SLT team at Scarborough and Bridlington hospitals were out in full force yesterday for Swallowing Awareness Day. We encouraged lots of our MDT colleagues to understand dysphagia, try modified textures, and chat to us about the SLT role.

@PracticeEduCEN It was so useful, glad I attended! Was a recording going to be made available, or the Padlets?

1 in 4 adults will have a stroke. New national guidelines now recognise that neurorehab helps recovery - even years after stroke, but staffing levels too low to allow delivery. Need innovative thinking and funding for services and research @TheStrokeAssoc https://t.co/7v5FSTG6Lq

The heatwave is here! ☀️🌡️

Which is great! But many people living with #dementia can struggle to stay hydrated in hot weather and this can have serious consequences ‼️☝🏻

Here are some tips to try & support PWD to stay hydrated over the next week or so!

What could you add? 😊

As a modern leader are you listening to what’s NOT being said just as much as what IS?

I am learning more about speech conditions everyday 🗣️ The brain 🧠 is very complex. Apraxia,Verbal Dyspraxia, Aphasia, Ataxia, Dysarthria, all effect the speech & can be brought on unexplainably as in my case, or from birth, or trauma from a stroke. This film is worth a watch & is streaming from this Friday.

Yikes!

Please never place a NG tube into brain. I want it to never ever happen. 🧵

Did you know, every 90 seconds, someone in the UK is admitted to hospital with a brain injury?
In the time it takes you to watch this video, someone like you will be admitted to a UK hospital with a brain injury.
#Every90Seconds 👉 Please share this video to show your support.

@emmaflaxSLT If it's for QoL, how about something along the lines of "I enjoy spending time with other people" or "I feel comfortable spending time with other people", perhaps adding "...as much as before my injury"?

[RCSLT 💙 @RCSLT]

Want to learn about cognitive and communication disorders (CCD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI)?
