Journal club today at #childBCHC 📝 The study we discussed compared the impact of parent-based intervention on young children with speech, language and communication needs. It sparked reflection on our own practice and how we as SLTs can support parents of children with SLCN!

Some of our #ChildSLT team attended a Lego Therapy workshop today and had some fun building lego and learning how we can use this tool to support SLCN 🗣️ #halfterm #mySLTday @bhamcommunity
