Got bored & asked ChatGPT "How many speech and language therapists does it take to change a lightbulb?" It answered: "Just one, but they'll use a whole range of creative strategies, visual supports, and language-rich activities to teach the lightbulb how to change itself!" @RCSLT

Am I reading this right?
‘OHS [oral hygiene self care = regular toothbrushing & flossing] was associated with a 51% reduction in the risk of CVD mortality’ over a study period of 18.8 years.
If this study had been on an expensive drug it would be front page news.

This looks like a great project - enabling people with speech differences to make themselves better understood by others, and to interact with 'smart home' devices. @Voiceitt #AAC #dysarthria #SLT #SLPeeps
29 Jul 2022
#ProjectEnsemble needs to collect many voice recordings from native English speakers living with speech impairments so that the @Voiceitt app can provide better speech recognition, accessibility, and independence for us all.
So start recording today bit.ly/3nWFz8C

Wow love this! It would be wonderful to have an Australian version of a resource like this.
Another useful leaflet for patients with Dysphagia and their families - Naturally thickened drinks for patients who need level 1 and level 2 fluids. Patient feedback has been brilliant so far! Sneak peek below… @RCSLT @rcslt_bulletin @StrokeWVT @iddsi_org #dysphagia #slt

Just watching @steven_bloch 's Stephen Hawking 2022 lecture re: MND & communication. He mentioned Julie Liss - I looked her up and came across this story - it totally shook me 1/2

This story makes me reflect on the importance of using therapy sessions to have a functional impact on people's lives. eg, maybe in this scenario, training family/friends re: communication strategies could have been more productive? 2/2

SLPs be like “long story short” and then comment on expression, comprehension, motor speech, pragmatics, orientation, attention, memory, executive function, cranial nerves, voice, resonance and three phases of swallowing

I’m just back from the pharmacy. And I think I must share what just happened to raise awareness about #communicationrights:
There was a lady with #aphasia on the counter next to me trying to buy an electric heating pad. 🧵 1/10

Today marks 19 years since I started my first job as an SLT. I’ve worked with some fab people & hopefully made a difference to a few people’s lives. I’ve been reflecting on the skills I’ve learned along the way, & here’s what I think is the most important thing I’ve learned...🧵

Some nice ideas in this thread re: AAC for end of life care.
1 Nov 2022
I made this for a EOL patient today, and was scratching my brain about what other (non-practical) things he may want to say apart from “I love you” and “Thank you”. Any ideas?

I wasn't sure if I wanted to talk about my professional experience of grief until I saw this from @doc_bipolar.
I'm still not sure I want to talk about it.
I don't think we talk enough about it, so I'm going to write this and see what happens.

We don't talk enough about the grief we feel as health professionals when our patients die.

October is AAC awareness month so I thought I'd re-share the four Ps model we use to describe the different types of AAC at @barnsleyAT.
I prefer these terms to 'low tech' and 'high tech' as they give equal value to all forms of AAC, which people might use alone or together.

At the core of our profession should be the idea that instead of upholding the status quo our role is to actively dismantle the barriers our service users face
