The words we use make a difference. Shifting away from the behavior and perception of the problem and moving to strengths and solutions changes everything. Words matter! #endseclusion (Shared from Michael McKnight)

Some people can find it difficult to understand my passion for working in forensic services - I feel that this drawing really demonstrates why these service users need understanding and compassion in order to promote recovery and reduce reoffending

I truly believe all professionals supporting autistic individuals owe it to those they support and themselves to know this. We should reflect and evolve our practice, listening to the community of people we support. It’s part of continuing professional (and personal) development.
*Edit from previous post* Neurodivergent people are significantly more likely to experience mental health problems and underlying health conditions. We need approaches that are personalised, empathic, & that focus on removing barriers in the environment #ableism #Autism #AHPs

As SLTs it’s likely we’ll come into contact with people living with long Covid (and other chronic conditions) so it’s important to be aware of brain fog and how it can impact upon understanding, memory, word finding and general communication skills. #brainfog #longcovid
