It’s Action for Brain Injury week! 🧠 Let’s continue to advocate, encourage and support those around us who have suffered from a brain injury. I’ll be spending #mySLTday in a rehab centre supporting my clients with their speech, language and communication today 🗣️ Headway - the brain injury association #SLT
Brushing up on my #AAC #TDsnap editing skills to personalise this high-tech aid for my client 🗣️- probably going to get a stern telling off for even considering adding Man City… but hey! It will be a great conversation (or argument) starter😂 #mySLTday Ace Centre #AOS
Speech & language therapists provide vital support to people with #Aphasia - a language disorder resulting from damage to areas of the brain responsible for language, which can affect a person's speech & ability to write & understand language. Steve Jamieson Nick Hewer
Happy hump day! So far I’ve learnt all things anatomy, typical swallow & bedside vs instrumental assessment🗣️ Certainly keen to start my dysphagia supervision now back at Judith A Scholefield & Associates! 🍰 Arguably, I’d have enjoyed more teaching on TBI… some may say I’m biased🧠😂 #mySLTday
Spent some time this morning brushing up on my knowledge of #childhoodABI by watching the Child Brain Injury Trust workshops! 🧠 Very interesting & informative overview of childhood brain injury and strategies to support these children both in/out of school settings 🗣️ #mySLTday
2 days left! ⏲️ We are looking for 2 x new SLTs to join our team and are actively recruiting for both a B5 and B6 Neuro SLT in the Manchester/Leeds areas. B5 post is suitable for NQPs. Applications can be sent to Lauren Bell (SLT) via email to [email protected]
Every day’s a school day…✏️🩹 Thank you to Keith from St John Ambulance England for providing our staff first aid training this morning. Our staff really valued to opportunity to brush up on CPR, choking and seizures/allergy response!
Just finished 5 very informative evenings on the Paediatric Dysphagia crash course with Savannah Senior and Chelsea Ridge 🍰 Looking forward to seeing some little ones on my Dysphagia caseload in the future now 🧠 #paediatricdysphagia
