Did you know today is #NationalSpeechTherapistDay
When I got involved in the industry, purely by chance and the need to because my son couldn’t talk, I never knew it was so good.
Here’s a short thread to explain what makes it soooo good….

This #WorldVoiceDay, we are highlighting the impact that losing your voice has on those living with #MND.

I’m doing the Cleobury 10k in less than 2 weeks. It’ll be a challenge cos my fitness has fallen off a cliff 😫
If you’re able to donate to @SpeechAndLangUK, it’ll help give me extra motivation to get my fat backside around the country lanes! 😂 #SLT

Didn't manage to get out yesterday with my stone due to a heavy marking load so dropped 2 off today.
This #rockingaphasia stone is on my local @RoyalMail postbox in Sandwell.
Hopefully it will make someone think about #aphasiaawareness

June is national and international Aphasia Awareness Month. Around 40% of people will experience this language disability after a stroke. It can also come as the result of a head injury or neurological condition. Language not Intellect is affected. #Aphasia #CommunicationAccess
Ruth Freeman retweeted
I’ve got aphasia but aphasia has not got me!
Aphasia is part of the tapestry of our lives that has drawn us together.
It’s part of us but does not define us.
We’ve been celebrating life with/despite #aphasia
We are survivors, thrivers, inspirers!
Here are our stories 🧵⬇️
