I've had a steep learning curve in terms of aphasia & word retrieval difficulties during my final block placement @GoSHspeech. I thought I'd share some info that I've learnt. #aphasia #speechtherapy #stroke

The simple model of reading has been really helpful for my last placement and even my job as an AHA. Fact: about 3 in 10 people with dyslexia have ADHD! #dyslexia #adhdacceptancemonth #slp2b

Observed a Nuffield assessment for one of my CAS clients. I'm so excited to have a CAS client on my caseload! #speechpath #SLP2B

@CathGregorySP What are your thoughts? 🤔

We've learnt that Caffeine dehydrates our vocal folds BUT I came across this article that didn't find a statistically significant effect of caffeine on voice! 😳 …ls-sagepub-com.ezproxy.lib.uts.edu.au/doi/full/10.11… #GoSHspeech #SLP2B

I was searching for ideas and came across an amazing resource I got from @LucyEBryant. Hope this helps anyone as much as it helped me!

I have been gradually increasing the distance between us during sessions by introducing stratrgies such as placing tape on the carpet around us. I explained the concept personal space and none of us are allowed to invade the other person's personal space.

"Some children with austism have a very poor concept or boundaries". I never really understood this until I met one of the children on my caseload. This child spends the whole session on my lap while hugging and kissing me which came as a shock to me at first.

Aphasia is an acquired disorder that affects how you communicate. It can impact your speech and the way you write and understand both spoken and written language. Aphasia DOES NOT affect someone's intelligence! @SpeechPathAus @GoSHspeech

@TinaGhevondian @GoSHspeech From experience, take your nail polish/ acrylics off😂

@monica_escandar @GoSHspeech @SpeechPathAus Thanks Mon!☺️

@SLPMariam @GoSHspeech @SpeechPathAus It’s always important to advocate! Thanks for this Mariam, very educational 😊

Speech Pathology Week is over but raising awareness for our profession isn't. Let's debunk some myths about Speech Pathology @GoSHspeech @SpeechPathAus #speechtherapy #goSHspeech

@farah_speechie @BanterSpeech A day late but thank you for sharing!

Today is #RUOKDay which is a great reminder to have difficult conversations in your workplace, when needed. This infographic by @BanterSpeech is a nice guide to follow. #speechpathology #slp2b

@HealthDisrupter Truly was!😃

@SLPMariam What a fantastic experience!!!!

The highlight of my penultimate placement was observing a Modified Barium Swallow which is an xray that visualises the mouth and the throat while the patient swallows food/fluid to check for swallowing difficulties. YES! Barium is safe to swallow. #speechtherapy #SLPeeps

@ashley_speechie @EmmaPower Looks amazing!

I had the opportunity this week to create a communication board for a patient with #aphasia. Thank you @emmapower for teaching me client-centred approaches when discussing goals & intervention. Have a listen to this podcast on #EBP for aphasia intervention open.spotify.com/episode/6rWVQm…

@farah_speechie Thank you! I have some more in the car but I was too lazy to get them for the pic😂

@SLPMariam Love this, some great resources there!

Using my 'crafts basket' as I am working on fine motor skills with my client this week. These develop through children using their hands in a precise and coordinated way. We will be drawing, painting, cutting and creating our own crafts! So excited!!
