@inchlairELCC Amazing! Love the links across the nursery areas - you guys are the best ❤️

J drew an amazing caterpillar today at the drawing table. He wanted to recreate the drawing at woodwork “it’s a rainbow caterpillar, these long bits are the legs”. S joined us and created her own caterpillar “it’s smiling” -S 🐛🔨#reallifeexperiences #autonomouslearners #creative

@inchlairELCC @inchlairELCC J was telling me about this yesterday and was very excited about these new resources.

@inchlairELCC What a fantastic report - so glad you got the recognition for everything you do! 🤩

We are PROUD to share the wonderful news that the dedication and commitment of our incredible team has been recognised within our recent care inspection where all aspects of our care for our children and families were rated as VERY GOOD. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ drive.google.com/file/d/1ElMb4l…

@inchlairELCC Thank you for a lovely session! You’ve inspired me to do some sewing at home! J is super proud of his decoration 🥰

J and B’s Mums have both been in for ‘Stay and Sew’ today. 🧵🪡 J drew his plan and decided to create “a lollipop” decoration for his Christmas Tree. 🥰 B wanted to make a “t-Rex” with his mummy to take home to his bedroom. 🦖 Thank you both for joining us! #relationshipsmatter

@HelenATSLT I did a study on this in a residential school and was shocked at the language load in a subject I thought was accessible. However, at home we got Gousto recipes and I thought this was needed. the pics and steps were great and also on phone, might be worth a look?

Currently teaching my 12 yr old to cook. He’s loving it, but his language disorder means he can’t read recipes. His idea- I take photos of each step then send them to his phone with captions. I suggested a paper photo recipe, he said info is easier to process on his phone 😊

@inchlairELCC Congratulations, wonderful news! Xx

We are delighted to announce the safe arrival of beautiful Leon Harris who was born on 29th June, weighing 6lb 13oz. We are sending lots of love and congratulations to Stacey and her husband . Leon is just perfect 💙

@SLTdanielle Hi Danielle, I’d be interested in taking part. Can I just use link in thread? Thanks, Michelle

I'm looking for UK #SLTs to take part in my MSc project exploring your understanding and knowledge about #neurodiversity affirming approaches! Please get in touch if you're interested in taking part in this online questionnaire or would like any more info! Please share 🌈

@inchlairELCC @FalkirkFroebel Brilliant! Well done J - that smile says it all 🥰

J has spent a long period of time in the woodwork area today, he has created a bird house using soft and hard wood, he demonstrated great problem solving skills when putting the pieces together and demonstrated a great knowledge of when to use a screw or nail. @FalkirkFroebel

In #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek we are reflecting on what we do, think and say as allies that reflects 👍 Neurodiversity affirming practice 👍 Working within a neurodiversity paradigm Key messages are here bit.ly/3yXR9Gd

@AutisticCallum_ Thanks for those words - it really helps explain the dilemma lots of people face. I’ve spoken lots about this topic with young people and families. Your explanation will really help in my future discussions, possibly help them to understand the ‘why’ behind what they experience.

As an autistic person, making decisions can be hard for me, because my loyalty to my values and need for things to feel right make it hard for me to accept any option that doesn’t feel 100% right to me, and it’s rare that any path ever feels 100% right, because life is nuanced.

Are you interested in working during the summer with children/ young people with ASN, if so we are recruiting for Activity Workers more info Falkirk Council Vacancies or myjobscotland

@inchlairELCC Thank you for having us along! What a fab morning! 💕

On our walk today there was lots of discussion around mathematical concepts. 📏1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ S asks “who is taller?” J replies “not me!”. We identified which trees were big, small, thin and thick 🌳🌲 L expresses “I’m under this tree, you’re in front of it”. #engagingwithnature

Time on @STVNews last week talking to @brandoncookSTV about why we need a plan to address the significant increase in numbers of children experiencing communication difficulties. @RCSLT

Are you a professional who writes reports for #Neurodivergent children and young people? Too many reports are pathologising. Check out our blog post for a list of Neurodiversity-Affirming language. divergentperspectives.co.uk/post/neurodive… #ADHD #autism #autistic #dyslexic #SEND #SLT #OT #GP

Excellent article on the front page of @Sunday_Post about the impact of the pandemic on children's spoken language. It follows research carried out by @rcsltscot and @earlyyearsscot @RCSLT @PeterSwindon sundaypost.com/fp/speech-cris…

We really like this play resource on the new @AutismLevelUP website autismlevelup.com bit.ly/3iaict7 The only true play goal we can have for another person is a goal for us - to ensure the person has opportunities to engage in whatever THEY consider PLAY!

"...one thing that’s really important to highlight is that children who have language or pragmatic difficulties are at much greater risk of having adverse mental health." Great @acamh podcast with @lilacCourt & @josaul14 bit.ly/3XW18H9 #DevLangDis #SLT #mentalhealth

Neurodiversity Affirmative Education: why and how? Really delighted to have written this piece for @BPSOfficial @psychmag with Dr Dinah Aitken of @MindroomInform Another chance to translate neurodiversity as a concept, into practical ideas for schools bps.org.uk/psychologist/n…
