Not a ‘good’ opportunity (as there is nothing good about Molly’s experience) but a relevant opportunity to share this about adjustments that can help autistic people in hospitals: ndti.org.uk/resources/publ…

My🧠is working hard to apply #gestaltlanguageprocessing theory to cases I am working with! Grateful for @KateSLT's talk at last week's CEN & the chance to discuss with an independent SLT working with these cases earlier in the week to develop joint advice @SLTsSameTeam #MySLTday

This blogpost by @AnnMemmott makes for stark reading. I’ll be looking out for a fuller publication in time to read more about the rights and ethics of autistic children as considered by ABA.

The belief that any caregiver could manipulate the linguistic input their child(ren) receives in such a life-altering way that children will be set up to “succeed” in school and beyond, ignores the role of structural factors on “success” and “failure.”

Scarlet fever is getting a lot of media attention at the moment, because of an increased number of cases and sporadic antibiotic shortages. I know parents are worrying. So, here's another set of photos of what it looks like on darker skin. #MedTwitter #scarletfever #BLM

This is wonderful, just heard it mentioned on @bbc5live news. But maybe @BBCNews could change their wording (they described Rob as "non-verbal")? @CBeebiesHQ @CbeebiesBBC

Really pleased to have helped organise this letter on the specialist SEND workforce alongside @PeterDJust from @RCSLT. This is urgent. Without access now to the specialist support they need young people with SEND will be at increased risk of poorer outcomes.

For parents of children with #SEND, standing at the edge of the new school year can feel like standing at the side of a pool with weights tied to your feet. You know you’ll fall and sink, you just don’t know when.
