Great session with @shaniAACSLT from @AACWESTNHS at #cm2024conf - looking at #aac for people with #aphasia considering both current practice and research.

Clinical academic thinking in action!

@ClinAcSLT @RCSLTResearch

[Katherine Broomfield @KathBroomfield]

The Most Excellent @HelenATSLT challenging us to reconsider #aac through a lens of neurodivergent affirming practices.

A brilliantly thoughtful, considered, provocative plenary at #cm2024conf from a 💫 #clinicalacademic

Let’s all be ‘aware of where our rocks are anchored’. Great to think about a critical inquiry stance @HelenATSLT @Comm_Matters

[Sofia Nuttall 💙 @sofia_watson]

@HelenATSLT @Comm_Matters Honestly such a good talk! Thank you. Lots of food for thought.

[CatherineMartinSLT @SltCatherine]

Clear, factual and important presentation. 🙏🏻 @BronwynHemsley - accountability is critical for registered healthcare professionals - neurodiversity affirming practice is not synonymous with any ‘one size fits all’ approach #CM2024conf

Devastating & heartbreaking day. The #RobBurrow Centre for MND is around £1m short of the £6m needed. The last bit of fundraising is always the hardest. So along with tweeting about Rob, please donate, big or small, and hopefully today’s awful news can catapult it over the line.

[Leeds Rhinos @leedsrhinos]

It is with deep sadness that the club can confirm that former player Rob Burrow CBE has passed away, aged 41.

I like to think of this as a cause and effect communication activity- It helps the child to understand that selecting a symbol is communicating a message! Today, one of my superstars who likes to press lots of buttons, stopped and listened to each song before choosing another!
