Are you concerned about your child’s speech and language development? Does your child have a minor speech or language difficulty and you are not sure whether to ask for a referral to a therapist? Would you like to see a Speech and Language Therapist without making an appointment?

Have you heard about the power of wearing your words? Visual supports help all students. Let’s make communication accessible for all learners. Embrace this innovative approach in your classroom! #AAC #WearingYourWords #InclusiveEducation
Blue text on light pink background says, Make it a habit to wear your words. All the words, all the time! An illustration of a person wearing a yellow shirt and grey pants and lots of different AAC options including an iPad with Proloquo on the screen on a strap over one shoulder, a ring of smaller communication cards on a strap over their other shoulder and and a Proloquo core communication board on lanyard around their neck. There is another communication board handing from the bottom of the strap on their left side. Lower left corner is www dot assistiveware dot com and our social media channel logos. Lower right corner is the branded AssistiveWare logo.

Our fantastic third year students from @SLTHuddsUni , Ellie and Emma, created a wonderful display board to showcase the different areas of speech and language development. 'The Language Tree' is centre stage in our waiting room. #mySLTday #therapy #SLT @RCSLT #GetMeInBulletin

A big week ahead. This Thursday I will be speaking at an event in Parliament, hosted by MP, Saqib Bhatti and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists. We will be highlighting issues for children who should be able to receive the specific speech therapy they need, and to raise awareness of CAS (Childhood Apraxia of Speech) & Verbal Dyspraxia. Our aim is to request more funding to recruit speech and language therapists to help the children and to also provide help in schools. We will be begging the government to provide more resources and support for families.

Attention and listening is the foundation of communication and are the building blocks required in order for our expression and understanding to develop. Here’s a thread of our SALT top tips…pay attention! 💡🧵

🧵Use fun activities little and often! Give the child little breaks between motivating activities for them to reset and bring their focus back ready for the next activity. With time, you can gradually increase how long these activities last for.

🧵Try to get the child’s attention first before speaking to them, to ensure they’re listening in the first place. This may vary from saying their name or making a certain sound as a cue, e.g. using a musical instrument to show that you are about to speak. #mySLTday #SLT #therapy

Did you know The average 18 month old is exposed to 4380 hours of language at a rate of 8 hours a day from birth. A child who uses AAC and receives speech therapy x2 a week for 20-30 minutes will reach the same amount of language exposure (in their AAC language) in 84 years!

🧵That means we should be providing children with AAC continuous exposure and modelling of their device throughout the day. We shouldn't be relying on direct therapy sessions alone! 🗣️💻⌨️ #mySLTday #SLT #AAC #speechtherapy
