Have you read our guidelines for supporting neurodivergent SLTs yet?
This is more than a ‘how to’ document, it challenges the beliefs we hold about ways of being an SLT. Embracing diverse ways of being and doing better serves the diverse populations we support
This book needs to be on the essential reading list for all #SLT2b - a brilliant insight into diverse perspective. @SimonSLT chapter is so easy to read and the themes are so similar to the chapter I'm writing for a similar book @JandRPress about disabled SLTs
So chuffed to have a great review of 'A Vision from the Margin' in the Bulletin today. "I have already read this book twice; it is a hugely valuable resource" says the reviewer. To buy a copy and find out more see jr-press.co.uk/product/voice…
@SimonSLT @jandrpress can you connect with me as I want to quote you in my upcoming book chapter

2/ Have you always been a creative therapist who loves problem solving and comfortable with outside the box thinking. Do you need the psychological safety of a work culture that allows you to be your true self?
I will be speaking at @naitscotland.bsky.social community of practice on 4th December about the Guidelines & toolkit we have just published with @rcslt.bsky.social and written by 16 neurodivergent co-authors @NDSLTUK 🏅Groundbreaking ND-led initiative

So proud of the work of our 16 neurodivergent co-authors and 300+ peer support group members @NDSLTUK who contributed to this amazing toolkit to support both ND SLTs and their employers
Our new guidance on Neurodivergence within the workforce is now available!
Drafted by SLTs with lived experience, it provides information and tools to directly support ND SLTs in the workforce and help colleagues create environments where they can thrive

3/ I am currently writing a chapter for a book by a collective of disabled speech and language therapists. I talk about this topic and how it impacts neurominority communication styles, which are often labelled as…
4/ …too direct or insensitive. Yet many of us receive compliments from the people we support for getting straight to the point and not using stigmatised tone of voice or indirect language to sugar-coat the reality of a difficult conversation about diagnosis or prognosis.
1/ Today’s deep-dive is on the topic of “weaponised professionalism”…
“For far too long, we as minority physicians have conditioned ourselves into thinking that somehow being our authentic selves is not professional and will…
