Listen-EAR

Getting ready for DLD awareness Day 15th October 2021. Spot on visual from @RADLDcam

What a great example of how clear communication needs to be!! One of the reasons we use #LegoTherapy and @Smiletweetsuk with lots of the people we work with to promote clear communication skills youtu.be/j-6N3bLgYyQ via @YouTube and seen on @dailymailuk

Great SLT b6 post @CamdenLDService & adult Mental Health @WhitHealth delivering services for @CamdenCouncil & @CI_NHS. Lovely well established teams to work in & develop skills. Message me or check out NHS jobs 220-E&IM-2261282 @talkingWhitSLTs @LLdslt @Gracie_Holt1 @PamelaSLT

Couldn’t be prouder of Beckford school today! An incredibly successful Parent workshop on Speaking and Listening/Oracy this morning led by enthusiastic and passionate staff. Well done all! @GivingVoiceUK @oracysquad @BeckfordPSA @Afasic @WhitHealth

Since starting the Listen-EAR project at Beckford school in Camden, amongst many other things, the classroom displays have grown and evolved. Looking good!! @BeckfordPSA @talkingWhitSLTs @voice21oracy

More focus on oracy tes.com/magazine/artic…

Sharing the new🔺model from @school21_uk, a school of oracy inspiration! The 9 building blocks of great oracy practice:

Quick talk tasks trialled in some year 7-11 classes today to boost speaking & listening opportunities: Random Count to 20, Odds and Evens, Think Pair Share and Talking Points. Some great oracy practice happening! @COLA_Highgate @talkingWhitSLTs

A day on change, leadership, research and development at the AHP conference. Currently hearing about caring for those who care with @stuartgpalma @talkingWhitSLTs

Just under a month to #NPDWednesday. Your link SaLT can talk you through ideas for maximising speaking & listening opportunities in your school! @talkingWhitSLTs ican.org.uk/no-pens-day-we…

@BBCYoungReport @simonmundie @BBCRadio4 @BBCR1 Report on DLD! Loads of young people have been making videos about their DLD diagnosis and how no one knows what DLD is, ahead of @RADLDcam awareness day next Friday. Check out the twitter / YouTube for their stories

Where do the stories that @simonmundie reports on for @BBCRadio4 and @BBCR1 come from? People like you! So if you're aged 11-18 we want to hear your original story suggestions - what do you think we should be reporting? 👉 bbc.co.uk/youngreporterc… #FindYourVoice

Be sure to make the most of communication opportunities at home too

Inspiring closing quote at a lightning talk with @KHopkins_SLT at @COLA_Highgate just now: "In a world where silent classrooms are often associated with great learning/behaviour, it's easy to forget that it's good to talk." @talkingWhitSLTs

On #NationalTADay here’s a big shout out for all the amazing Teaching Assistants and Learning Support Assistants that Work so hard to support children with #SLCN Thanks for all you do.

Listen-EAR will be raising awareness for DLD this October in Camden & Islington. Will you too? @talkingWhitSLTs @NewJournal @islingtongztte

A day to celebrate young people and the wonders they can achieve #InternationalYouthDay

@pinchof_SaLT @HackneyTalk @RADLDcam @SALDAustralia @RCSLT Posters and quizzes in schools

Currently planning with @HackneyTalk how to mark #devlangdis awareness day in Hackney...any good ideas people can share? @RADLDcam @SALDAustralia @RCSLT

Here’s a fantastic idea from one of the paed SLT teams in Islington - recycle your empty coffee tins & make them into word pots. Get ready for a Vocab Hit in September! @ListenEAR2

We are honoured to welcome 3 visitors from Tennessee, USA this week. 2 SLTs and one SEN teacher seeing how Listen-EAR works in our schools, and how they can support SLCN in the classrooms more. Keeley and Sarah met Ryan & Cheryl to show off Listen-EAR @holytrinitynw3
