@lisntell @NafsikaSmith This has been such a great book to reflect on and discuss together. Now that we're nearly at the end I'm feeling slightly bereft already...
Very much looking forward to contributing to this training with the inspiring @lisntell. I believe there are still a few spaces available for SLTs and other professionals keen to bring storytelling practice into their work...
Happy to say my @ITAKOM_CONF talk is now up on youtube! About how to provide neurodiversity-affirming support & environments for ND people. Rewatch, show your friends, spread the capacity jug love far and wide...

Rob Burrow will read CBeebies Bedtime Story on Saturday using his voice-output eye-gaze communication system. For children who use alternative communication and access methods, itโs just brilliant to see positive role models on TV. https://t.co/V3J6MwC8NA
If you are a*teacher* or *carer* working with children/YP who are looked after or who stay in residential care - ๐ complete this short anon survey for some colleagues at Edinburgh Uni. They are interested in factors affecting wellbeing and burnout... https://t.co/KloEJ5G9Rn
@WFarahslt I'm thinking about this more.
Maybe agency is to do with attitude belief and personhood; whereas self advocacy is to do with experience, action and choice?
@WFarahslt Agency is about holding power-whether in loud/quiet ways. It is knowledge and celebration of self. It's about having a sense of rightness in one's path, and being able to hold boundaries secure. It's different to self advocacy- both are important concepts for SLTs to engage with.
Delighted that โStuttering & the social modelโ written together with Chris Constantino & @Patrick1992C has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Communication Disorders @ODC2021 Special Issue. Free access to read & download until 22/04/22: https://t.co/tuCJaSzelH Enjoy!

I'm beginning to wonder if it is an elaborate April Fool's joke. @Herring1967 are you in on it? ๐ง
Such an interesting paper. Thanks @Occ4LifeLtd for drawing my attention to it. Now wondering about links between profanity, emotional literacy, and positive mental health outcomes. Particularly for populations (#AAC users?) where access to such language may be limited/withheld.
