📶 No, it's not the Wi-Fi acting up again. #ItsHowWeTalk We're calling for the right to stammer, because stammering is just how some people talk, and there can be #NoDiversityWithoutDisfluency. Thread continued below... 👇


Great video ahead of swallowing awareness day next week. Our SLTs support adults with dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) to manage this safely and maintain independence and enjoyment eating and drinking @1stchatter @RCSLT #swallowaware

Ahead of World Swallow Awareness Day on the 17 March, the PHA has released a new animation to raise awareness of this issue. #Dysphagia #swallowaware

Good to hear the SLT role being highlighted as important to COVID19 care

Massive thanks to our president @Nick_Hewer & @drjackiem for highlighting the vital work that speech and language therapists do in supporting patients with #COVID19 on @GMB this morning. You can watch the full interview here from 2:07: itv.com/hub/good-morni… @KGadhok



Great summary of popular video chatting apps to keep up with people during lockdown. MS Teams has also been good for work meetings.
