Very much looking forward to contributing to this training with the inspiring @lisntell. I believe there are still a few spaces available for SLTs and other professionals keen to bring storytelling practice into their work...

On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities... 👏❤️💬❤️💬👏
Rob Burrow will read CBeebies Bedtime Story on Saturday using his voice-output eye-gaze communication system. For children who use alternative communication and access methods, it’s just brilliant to see positive role models on TV. bbc.com/mediacentre/2022/rug…

Such an interesting paper. Thanks @Occ4LifeLtd for drawing my attention to it. Now wondering about links between profanity, emotional literacy, and positive mental health outcomes. Particularly for populations (#AAC users?) where access to such language may be limited/withheld.

This is so very true. Speaking as an #SLT, so many good communication outcomes in the end are linked to good postural management. Not to mention quality of life and wellbeing.
Postural care management for people with PMLD is not just the physio’s job, or the family’s job, it is EVERYONE’s responsibility

If you can get your hands on this month's @OTnews, do read this fantastic article about the #GoodPostureWeek initiative at @treloars . As an SLT it's something I'm so proud to have been involved with. OT/PT/SLT joint working in practice @rcslt #selfadvocacy #mysltday
Sitting down to read this month's #OTNews is particularly exciting this month! Sharing our @treloars #GoodPostureWeek project to hopefully inspire others 👍 @sltbubble As I return to work from mat leave next month, I can't help thinking about what our next event could be 🤔

Interesting article... @lisntell "The team found that participants were on average 20 per cent more likely to hear stress on a syllable if there was a beat gesture on it."
Using hand gestures when we talk influences what others hear bit.ly/3ckFJSD
