Great session with @shaniAACSLT from @AACWESTNHS at #cm2024conf - looking at #aac for people with #aphasia considering both current practice and research. Clinical academic thinking in action! @ClinAcSLT @RCSLTResearch

The Most Excellent @HelenATSLT challenging us to reconsider #aac through a lens of neurodivergent affirming practices. A brilliantly thoughtful, considered, provocative plenary at #cm2024conf from a 💫 #clinicalacademic @ClinAcSLT @RCSLTResearch @BarnsleyAT @Bristol_SLTRU

Let’s all be ‘aware of where our rocks are anchored’. Great to think about a critical inquiry stance @HelenATSLT @Comm_Matters

@HelenATSLT @Comm_Matters Honestly such a good talk! Thank you. Lots of food for thought.

Honoured to have been asked to step in and deliver the plenary session at @Comm_Matters conference this morning. I know there’ll be some friendly faces smiling back at me in the crowd! Thanks to all who have sent messages of encouragement.

Clear, factual and important presentation. 🙏🏻 @BronwynHemsley - accountability is critical for registered healthcare professionals - neurodiversity affirming practice is not synonymous with any ‘one size fits all’ approach #CM2024conf

Thank you @usabilitydoc #cm2024conf

Best team in the world #empowerment #CM24 @CASEE_CUH #AAC FEMALE POWER !!

Devastating & heartbreaking day. The #RobBurrow Centre for MND is around £1m short of the £6m needed. The last bit of fundraising is always the hardest. So along with tweeting about Rob, please donate, big or small, and hopefully today’s awful news can catapult it over the line.

It is with deep sadness that the club can confirm that former player Rob Burrow CBE has passed away, aged 41. More here therhinos.co.uk/article/20426/…

I like to think of this as a cause and effect communication activity- It helps the child to understand that selecting a symbol is communicating a message! Today, one of my superstars who likes to press lots of buttons, stopped and listened to each song before choosing another!
