Sam Rodgers

Passed all my competencies and now I'm certified 🙂. It's been a busy first year getting to grips with my role and being part of the INTERACT trial but I love being an SLT. Hoping to do some postgrad study now I've lost my stabilisers 🤩

@emilyjayne_slt I have all the loaded sound scenes and they're about the only thing I can send and share. Her resources are amazing!

@sam_studentslt The Carrie Hughes stuff you can share and it’s amazing!!

I'd love to know any resources I can pay for that I can also share with TAs or parents for carryover? I can't with nearly anything I own due to copyright and it makes me so sad. It's great when you see a resource that says you can, but they're few and far between!

RETWEET if you stand with President Zelensky!

@CarersNI @CrystalOldman @conniePC_slt @Ben_Bowers__ @DCNO_Amy @sam_studentslt @CareTalkMag please share ♥️

@PaulaMc007 @HullHospitals @CareQualityComm Hospital passports need to be stored in people's medical records. This was plain cruel & easily avoided

#Oliverscampaign I am shocked at how badly neglected this learning disabled man was treated at @HullHospitals who died a horrific death I will be checking if they have done the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training I hope @CareQualityComm are doing the same examinerlive.co.uk/news/local-new…

@about_speech Thank you. That's what I've been doing, I just wondered if there was anything I'd missed evidence wise that I should be considering, but I'm reassured there isn't 🙂

@sam_studentslt I don’t think it matters in the same way as language ax as you are not testing word knowledge. I would use your professional judgement around timing and if there is a reason why you need updated scores eg for a report or to evaluate targets

Does anyone know if / where I can find some literature about the recommended wait for SSD speech reassessment / follow up following intervention?

@about_speech Thank you for this. I gave this a read last week and although very thorough, it doesn't seem to cite recommend fup and retest...unless I've missed it, which knowing me I could well have! 😆

@sam_studentslt rcslt.org/news/new-speec…

I return this week & I'm excited to say that I'm going to be an SLT guiding interventionists as part of an RCT. I'm very passionate & nerdy on EBP and to be part of robust research this early on is a great opportunity! 🙂

@Widgit_Software I have Widgit Online through work & I'm making a social story, but I can't put a line over 'teacher' in Widgit Online. I have a free trial of Communication in Print but it's watermarking it. What can I do in Online to signify a teacher's not going to be in?

@gp_recept10n That's a shame. Do you have a safeguarding team you can speak to?

@sam_studentslt Thank you. We did too but they said they couldn’t as mental health and no resources, ambulance wouldn’t go and crisis team also declined.

#TeamGP colleagues how do you handle requests for mental health related welfare checks on patients that are not responding to the surgery by phone, text, letter?

@Beckyclinton01 Love this!

Pleased with my therapy set up today ☺️ #mysltday #NQPSLT

@jo_sandiford Thank you, Jo! 🙂

@sam_studentslt Just take your time Sam - no need to rush; there is lots to learn and you are more than capable of doing it, and being a fantastic SLT! I have no doubt at all

There's been a lot of times recently where I've felt I'm not cut out to be an SLT. I feel my age & NQP-ness (if thats a word 😆). Hope it gets better 🫰

I had fun with a Boom Cards Halloween themed loaded /g/ scene today. The child looks for the 'spooky' /g/ words hidden under the flashlight. This is why I love working with children - I get to be a big kid myself 🎃 👻

@keillor_a Thank you for the reassurance 🙂

@sam_studentslt Gets better, never goes away though. Don’t be put off. Good teams understand this and help each other through those wobbles! X

@Beckyclinton01 I'm 40 (almost 41). My new way of working is tough such as the organising myself and the travel (new driver too). I'm hoping I'll continue to adjust, but I feel that if younger it'd be easier. Thanks for replying, it's good I'm not alone

@sam_studentslt I relate! 35 year old NQP here 😊

@ehope_slt Glad I'm not alone 🤗. I'm sure you're doing amazingly

@sam_studentslt I hear you and feel that too but we got this!
