Remembrance Day is an annual event held on November 11 to honour the end of World War I and to honor all those who have died in conflicts. It is also known as Armistice Day. A 2 minute silence is held at 11am to mark the moment the fighting ended in 1918. We will remember them.
This week is #intensiveinteractionweek2025. Intensive interaction is a way of teaching early communication and interaction skills to people who do not find it easy communicating or being social. Please follow the link for more information intensiveinteraction.org/

Some of our Speech and Language Therapists and Students were raising awareness for Development LanguageDisorder (DLD for short) today at Glebefields Health Centre, Tipton.
#DLD #DLDday2025
Today is #DLDday2025 DLD is when a person has significant on-going difficulties understanding and/or using spoken language. DLD is not cause by any other medical condition. DLD affects around 2 children in every class of 30. Almost 700,00 people in England have a diagnosis of DLD

DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) affects 1 in 14 people, yet it’s often hidden.
DLD can impact learning, friendships & everyday life across the lifespan.
💛 Raising awareness means more understanding, support & inclusion 💜

It’s that time of year again where WMSLT are all ready to get involved in all the fun and action involved in #DLD awareness day! 🙌
This year, the theme is ‘You can’t see DLD’ emphasising that while DLD may not be visible, it is still present and common. #devlangdis

There’s nothing like an end of service report to get you reflecting on the year’s progress. It can sometimes be hard to see the differences you make in the moment but looking back over the last 12 months, I could not be prouder of our little AP SALT team 🥰 @SandwellSPOT
We're proud to support #LearningDisabilityWeek ! This years theme “Do you see me?” is about people with a learning disability being seen, heard and valued! We love this easy read from @mencap_charity mencap.org.uk/easyread/learn…

We're supporting World Autism Acceptance Month this April 🌈
It's an opportunity for everyone to come together and raise awareness, foster acceptance, and create a society where autistic people are supported, understood, and empowered 💙 #autismacceptancemonth #neurodiversity
Some amazing and thought-provoking talks at the @NAPLIC conference today! Here is a thread of some of our highlights of the day ⬇️
BCU and a panel of parents explained the research they've carried out into how we deliver DLD diagnoses. It made us think about the changes we can make as a team to make this a more positive and less overwhelming moment for the families we support!
