I’ve recently started a YouTube channel and hope to share some clinically useful videos, focused on Speech Sound Disorders and CAS.
My first video is a walkthrough of the DEAP, how to use the summary screen and the various subtests. Please share!

🙏 Thank you @HealthwatchE for raising awareness of both the value of speech and language therapy, and of the issues that too many people are experiencing in accessing support.
Great to see the @RCSLT 'A profession under pressure' report mentioned too.
@WaitUpSLT
We recently heard how much people value community services that deliver crucial care within the community. However, we also heard about the impact this has on people when they are unable to access the service and the care they need. healthwatch.co.uk/blog/2025-…
