After many tears, breakdowns and episodes of self doubt led me to believe that me becoming a qualified Speech and Language Therapist was impossible. But today, I'm one step closer to that dream after finding out that I have passed all assessments and can now start my HCPC reg!

Does this thing still work?

@IlyehNahdiSLT @LecturerMish No way. I’m actually so disappointed 😔

@LecturerMish robert buckland, tory MP. here is his voting record for an idea of why many of us did not attend the conference this year: theyworkforyou.com/mp/24843/rober…

now… how to catch up with the rcslt conference information as a result of boycott of the keynote speaker… 😂😅

This is the most ableist & offensive thing I've read in a while. "If my therapist said they were autistic, I'd pass"....."if you're a therapist with autism you might want to think about the implications". #therapy #ableism #autism

I clicked sort by age. There are 6 pages of these before you get to the one year olds.

All booked and pencilled into my diary. Really looking forward to this one ☝️

Just listened to this presentation- very informative and a great piece of work! Really excited for what’s next :) love how much you can learn just from one another’s experiences ✨ #RCSLTConf2023

.. around his neck. He walks back into the waiting and then looks at us. I then realise this man was our doctor. He made us wait 45 minutes just so he could buy a loaf of bread. Just flabbergasted.

So it continues. I turn up for the appointment- just a few minutes late due to a poop explosion but all ok. We’re just waiting in the waiting room- 10 minutes turn into 20. 45 minutes later, a man walks into the surgery with a loaf of bread. I noticed he had a stethoscope

So when I called the doctors surgery at 8 this morning I was number 36. I had to cut the call a few minutes in as the little one became really unsettled. Rejoined at number 4, did a little happy dance. Tell me why I’m still 3 after 24 minutes 😭

What makes a good Social Story and what are the problems with the way social stories are being used by some? Are they being misused as a behaviour compliance tool? I have my own thoughts (!) but would love to know your thoughts too!! #SENDTwitter

Yesterday as part of @BCHC_SLT Evidence Based Practice Journal Club we discussed this fantastic article. An incredibly thought provoking piece and some important conversations were had about how this relates to our own clinical practice. (1/2)
