Please share with anyone you know who might know Cantonese & English speaking children aged 5-12. Much appreciated! 💘

The discussion ventured into imagining the benefits on child development in a world where SLTs taught in nurseries.

Noticing their patterns on an individual level and being able to tailor the input - making the most of this period of 'golden age'. 🦋✨

Joined @naplic.bsky.social's journal club yesterday hosted with @cltt.bsky.social 💭 A thought-provoking discussion on #DevLangDis intervention!

The speakers convinced me: nursery teaching should be done by SLTs. Observations, facilitation, elicitation. - thoughts? 🧐 #BSkySpeechies

Our City SLT Soc got Academic Society of the Year 🎉 Well done team - it wasn't easy starting a society from the ground up! ✨ #BSkySpeechies

Dysphagia Dining Experience with our City St George's SLT Soc 🍲✨ Tasted IDDSI Levels 4 (puréed) and 5 meals from Wiltshire Farm Foods!

...and accidentally turned this into a mini-lecture (sorry first-years!). Our Comms Officer Millie nailed the explanations though! ❤️ #RCSLT #SwallowingAwareness

Love that! What's your current project~ ♡

A doll with a graduation cap (it's magnetic and it comes off!) and LSE graduation gown. A gift for a good friend.

Too cute 🧶✨ What got me started:
I went from... *embroidery* -> *crochet*

it's me wanting to create something 'out of thin-air' (instead of embellishing things). Then... I... just wanna make everything! 🙈

What kept me going: just as singing = vocal stim, crocheting = ✋🏻 occupied & 🧠 concentrates 😂

As a ND to-be SLT, I'm proud to be supporting Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2025! 🌟

If the neurodivergence taskforce wants to make schools better for neurodivergent children, why aren’t the 1 million children with Developmental Language Disorder part of the conversation?😣

This is totally unacceptable!

Don't you agree, Department for Education? #TheForgottenMillion
