@ELHT_SLT Congratulations Lauren!🌟

Captivated by this read, @jon_mcgregor so artfully and accurately represents #aphasia and its impact on sense of self and on carer wellbeing, get this on essential reading for all #SLTs and #SLT2B!

A really great read from @conor_foran who designed Dysfluent Mono, a typeface which visually repesents the experience of a stammer. I’m always looking for places where my art and SLT passions co-exist and this is just it! @dysfluent

A beautiful idea from my old dance school and a great example of inclusive dance! ilfordrecorder.co.uk/news/chantrain…

For #BBCMusicDay we would like to introduce you to 95 year old Nora. She’s living with dementia and gets confused easily, but that doesn’t matter when she starts to sing. Nora travels to various care homes with her daughter and sings for the residents. Encore Nora!

‘Testing Situations’ at @jupiter_woods brilliantly explores testing in dementia and whether their voices and personalities can shine through. It gives real meaning to ‘patient centred care.’ Let’s harness the power of information gained through tangents and detours! @Harrison_CR

Great class with my Dance for Parkinson’s students. 💜@PDMovement @ParkinsonsUK @CureParkinsonsT @ThreeRiversDC
