Speech and language therapists assess difficulties with speech, language and communication as well as eating, drinking and swallowing. They support people who have speech, language and communication difficulties to remain involved in decisions about their care #WithSLTuCan

People living with dementia often experience speech, language, communication, eating, drinking & swallowing difficulties so it's crucial they're able to access speech & language therapy to help reduce the impact of these difficulties #DementiaActionWeek

Different types of dementia bring different types of speech & language changes. If words are lost, look for clues in what’s not being said. Watch body language, gestures, facial expressions & any tone to vocalisations. #WithSLTuCan

It was a great session. Wonderful to see group members supporting one another. There was a lovely welcoming feel within the group. Looking forward to next month!
We had a lovely evening at the relaunch of the Leicestershire PPA group. Using crafts to stimulate conversations with group members. This group allows people with rare dementias to meet, socialise and share tips and resources

Our 9th support group for people living with #PPA and their families in Leicester tonight. Great to get feedback on planning future sessions, and playing games that don’t rely on speech; ring toss, balloon swatting and bingo! #mysltday @LPTnhs @LPTAdultSpeech

Lovely #PPA support group last night for people with language led dementia and their families. Physio Vanessa gave us info about staying fit and time for games of ring toss and boules. 6 months in and the group is building momentum with members suggesting activities 😊

Here’s a diary date for you. It’s been some time since a ‘Show and Tell’ event has been hosted but this is a great opportunity to meet some of the professionals and have a look at aids and equipment that may help make life a little easier. #mnda @mndassoc @LOROSEducation

We're looking at making our friends and family test more accessible for a: people in care homes and b: people with aphasia. Have any other SLT services looked at this and have bright ideas they can share? Any help appreciated! 💫

Thank you for sharing your story on @BBCMorningLive Keith Wilson. 👏🏻 After intensive speech therapy, “I got my voice back. It was absolutely wonderful because I became a kind of born-again talker”! 🙌🏻 Speech and language therapy can help.
